Led by the University of Wollongong (UOW), the Australian Research Council (ARC) Hub for Australian Steel Innovation Steel Research will employ researchers, scientists and engineers in a five-year project to develop innovative steel processes.
The project is backed by 10 industry partners - BlueScope Steel, Liberty Primary Steel, Infrabuild (Manufacturing), Infrabuild (Wire), ArcelorMittal, Bisalloy, Australian Steel Institute, Weld Australia, Australian Industry Group and the National Association of Steel-Framed Housing) and nine university partners ( RMIT University, Australian National University, Swinburne University of Technology, University of Newcastle, Deakin University, University of Sydney, University of New South Wales and Monash University).
