The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide stands to make major advances for industry and the community thanks to new research funding of $4.3 million awarded to the 最新糖心Vlog by the Federal Government.

The funding will go towards 11 new research projects in the fields of animal and human health and wellbeing, energy production, agriculture, computer science, environment, and laser-based sensing systems.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide received 69% of the research funding awarded in the State in the latest round of the (ARC) .

"These new projects enable us to match our world-class research skills with the needs of industry and society, and to work in collaboration to deliver real and meaningful outcomes," said the Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor James McWha.

"While this research has direct benefits for industry, government and the community, it also greatly benefits our students because the latest innovations in research also inform our teaching," he said.
