The ARC Linkage Projects Scheme: how it works

The Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Linkage Projects Scheme helps to foster strategic partnerships between organisations and universities to solve specific problems, create new knowledge and develop long-term mutually beneficial collaborations.

Partner organisations can apply with us for funding from the ARC to supplement their own cash and in-kind contributions.

The ARC provides:

• support for pure basic research through to applied research
• between $50,000 and $300,000 per annum.
