- inform our key stakeholders and the broader public about ARC important dates and upcoming events or scheme/program commencements
- facilitate the dissemination of information about our programs and schemes
- create interest in the ARC, its research schemes, and the benefits ARC-funded research projects are producing for the Australian community.
The ARC welcomes submissions from institutions for the newsletter. Submissions should be sent to communications@arc.gov.au. Anyone submitting an article should also make themselves familiar with the editorial policy for the newsletter.
