CSIRO has signed a five-year, AU$25m strategic research alliance agreement with Australian company Orica Ltd.

CSIRO's chief executive Megan Clark said the alliance will strengthen Australia's science capability in areas of importance to both organisations, with the objective of improving the international competitiveness of Australian industry.

"The alliance will engage our programs in manufacturing, materials and minerals, embracing three of CSIRO's National Research Flagships: Future Manufacturing, Minerals Down Under, and Energy Transformed," Dr Clark said. “It is testament to CSIRO’s commitment to not only engage with and support Australian industry, but also to continue to develop Australia’s science capability.

"Orica and CSIRO have a long history of collaboration and cooperation to produce innovations of value to the mining and chemicals industries and broader community. This agreement captures the capabilities of both organisations and aims to deliver further ongoing benefit from newly developed technology," said Graeme Liebelt, Orica’s managing director.

The alliance will focus on projects over three time horizons; development of long-term R&D capability to benefit Orica and Australia; strategic R&D over the medium to longer term to implement joint capability and to establish new business initiatives; and tactical projects that will benefit current business activities over the short to medium-term, particularly those related to the mining and infrastructure industry sectors.
