MESH: amalgamating innovative teams of cross-disciplinary collaborators for creativity in Media-arts, E-culture, Science and Humanities. MESH is a cross-disciplinary network that amalgamates a national array of sub-networks of research in digital arts, ICT and cross-cultural and policy negotiation. It boosts Australia's existing cross-disiciplinary strengths in Media-arts, E-culture, Science and Humanities by encouraging existing digital sub-networks to grow together via well-brokered communic ....MESH: amalgamating innovative teams of cross-disciplinary collaborators for creativity in Media-arts, E-culture, Science and Humanities. MESH is a cross-disciplinary network that amalgamates a national array of sub-networks of research in digital arts, ICT and cross-cultural and policy negotiation. It boosts Australia's existing cross-disiciplinary strengths in Media-arts, E-culture, Science and Humanities by encouraging existing digital sub-networks to grow together via well-brokered communications and demonstrations online and on-location. Progressively, MESH participants will discover existing harmonies whilst also inventing new languages and protocols leading to breakthroughs in cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation. MESH encourages a 'paradigm shift' in digital research, realising the extraordinary potential that is ready but latent across Australia's arts and sciences.Read moreRead less

Summary
Frontier and Security Technologies Microfabrication Network. This Initiative will conduct a comprehensive survey of Australia's resources in micro-fabrication, a key enabling technology for two national research priority areas, and generate new collaboration opportunities that capitalise on this resource base and open it to a wider range of applications. The Initiative will focus on photonics, nano-materials and security applications, and will identify gaps in micro-fabrication capabilities requ ....Frontier and Security Technologies Microfabrication Network. This Initiative will conduct a comprehensive survey of Australia's resources in micro-fabrication, a key enabling technology for two national research priority areas, and generate new collaboration opportunities that capitalise on this resource base and open it to a wider range of applications. The Initiative will focus on photonics, nano-materials and security applications, and will identify gaps in micro-fabrication capabilities required to support research in these areas. The outcomes will be a key element in a national strategic plan for these areas of national priority. The web site will demonstrate key features of the IT-based support features of a micro-fabrication network.Read moreRead less
