Curtin research centres and groups

Australia-Japan Network for Energy Transition and Critical Materials (AJN-ET&CM) intends to bring together Australia and Japan’s leading experts, industry, and researchers to share and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the energy transitions and critical resources required, and explore future areas of research and industry collaboration.

CIMP targets and solves civil and structural engineering challenges across a broad range of important applications. These impacts include climate change adaptation for civil infrastructure, hazard mitigation, structural condition monitoring, structural design to resist blast and earthquake loading, and structure rehabilitation and protection.

C3MET are addressing global demand for critical minerals and contributing to a sustainable supply chain for future technological advancements.
They aim to develop scalable, economically viable solutions for recovering critical minerals from complex ores and industrial wastes.

The Curtin Corrosion Centre conducts high-quality research in corrosion and materials related to the petroleum, mining, chemical processing, defence, maritime, automotive and biomedical industries.
They specialise in corrosion research across industries, focusing on mechanically assisted, localised, microbiologically influenced, and acid gas corrosion, among other areas.

Supported by the WA State Government and based at Curtin University, the GreenTech Hub inspires, mobilises and connects green entrepreneurship in Western Australia. We support innovation, commercialisation and tech development to catalyse a green, low-carbon future for all.

The Hydrogen Storage Research Group (HSRG) undertakes experimental research into a vast array of energy storage systems including: Hydrogen storage materials for export, transport, or stationary energy storage; thermal batteries using thermochemical energy storage; solid-state electrochemical batteries

The Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer builds new research capabilities and drives commercialisation in resources and critical minerals industries across Australia. The RTCM Trailblazer is one of six Trailblazers participating in the Australian Government’s Trailblazer Universities Program supported by the Department of Education.

Modern sustainability management is a multi-faceted challenge for managers and professionals that stretches across many domains. The sustainability management research and teaching at the Sustainable Engineering Group (SEG) at Curtin involves an industrial ecology approach to focus on understanding sustainability issues and how best to manage them.
