Collaborators
IMAS works in collaboration with many other organisations, providing a number of significant benefits:
- coordination of research effort with shared goals and priorities,
- improved focus and quality in Research and Development activities,
- an enhanced role for industry in directing and committing research resources, and
- increased access to Commonwealth funds for Research and Development.
IMAS has developed a strong focus on the needs and expectations of industry, government and the national and international marine and Antarctic communities. A key aspect of our approach is to foster strong collaborative linkages and partnerships with similar agencies locally, interstate and around the globe, building on the fact that Hobart has one of the highest concentrations of marine scientists anywhere in the world.
