CIRES offers partners the opportunity to co-design a specific project that aligns with our research program to address a real-world challenge facing your organisation.

Partner Organisations are industry or government partners that contribute both financial and in-kind commitments over the lifetime of the Centre. We invite existing and new Partner Organisations to propose and co-design a project that is aligned with the Centre’s research program and addresses a challenge facing the organisation. Projects can range from shorter term (3-6 months) to longer term. There are opportunities for current Centre researchers including PhD students to undertake placements within partner organisations.
