North Ryde. Funds for two organisations

The Minister for Science and Medical Research, Jodi McKay, has announced that Macquarie University and the CSIRO Material Sciences and Engineering are among six public sector research organisations to each receive $50,000 in State Government funding to encourage better links between university researchers and the business community. Ms McKay said the funding would support new ‘connector’ roles within the universities, and was the latest stage of the NSW Government’s $1.4 million TechVouchers program.
