The Research Model

SMART will create a research model that includes:

• up to date modern laboratories for each research group across the infrastructure spectrum
• physical co-location of researchers to promote multi-disciplinary collaborations
• co-location with the Simulation Centre to allow research theories to be applied to large scale real world scenarios for impact and feasibility analysis
• feedback from the Simulation Centre to generate additional research possibilities
• enhanced ability to demonstrate research findings to industry and government
• commercial industry engaged research in a facility that promotes industry attendance.
