Join Dr Frazer Thorpe and Dr Lieke van der Hulst to learn about education opportunities through the Plants For Space - ARC Centre of Excellence!
Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education
About the Plants For Space - ARC Centre of Excellence
ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space aims to create on-demand, zero-waste, high-efficiency plants and plant products to address grand challenges in sustainability for Space and on Earth. Significant advances in plant, food, and sensory science; process and systems engineering; law and policy; and psychology are expected to deliver transformative solutions for Space habitation – and create enhanced plant-derived food and bioresources to capitalise upon emergent and rapidly expanding domestic and global markets.
Anticipated outcomes include industry uptake of innovative plant forms, foods, technologies, and commodities; and an ambitious education and international coordination agenda to position Australia as a global leader in research supporting Space habitation.
