CRC Funding Model
​
The Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centre program facilitates industry-led collaborations with universities, communities and all levels of government to address significant challenges facing the tourism, hospitality and events sectors in Australia. The program enables us to leverage industry and university contributions to access substantial Commonwealth funding to support long-term collaborative research and problem-solving.
​
The CRC scheme enables partners to apply for Commonwealth funding matching the industry’s in-kind and cash contributions for a period of up to 10 years.
​
​
​Next steps
​
The CRC seeks business, industry association and government partnerships to establish a CRC from 2026 to 2033.
