The Curtin Institute for Energy Transition and Powering Australia are developing a database of researchers with skills and capabilities critical for the energy sector and clean-technology manufacturing.
The database will be accessible to both industry and researchers. Industry will be able to search for researchers and institutions that have the capabilities, equipment and facilities needed for their projects. Researchers will be able to identify companies that align with their research and innovation goals.
The key objective of this project is to make it easier for researchers and industry to connect with one another and provide a comprehensive overview of the energy and clean tech research capability landscape in Australia. Ultimately, the aim of the database is to facilitate faster, more effective and higher quality collaborations.
Once collected, the information will be uploaded to a database managed by Powering Australia and made available to clean-tech companies across Australia and licenced back to participating institutions for research.
The database currently contains over 6,800 companies and over 5,800 researchers curated from publicly-available datasets.
