Our Researchers
Cutting-edge research
Alliance researchers are inventive, forward-thinking and dynamic. They embrace collaboration and understand that by drawing from a combined pool of resources, they can achieve so much more. Since its formation in 2012 the Alliance has powered over 100 collaborative projects.
We offer researchers:
- access to the best facilities at two world-class universities
- support from project inception, through to proof of concept and beyond with our joint funding opportunities
- support in developing a generation of internationally experienced young researchers through the Alliance Joint PhD.
Research Activation Fund
The Activation Fund is designed for you to work with Monash colleagues to kickstart a research idea or boost an existing collaboration. We will support you to combine your complementary expertise to deliver greater impact.
Major Research InitiativeLink opens in a new window
The research funding instruments of the Alliance are designed to ensure that the Alliance can continue to provide support for the early development of potentially transformative research projects (through the Research Activation Fund) and provide an articulated pipeline to access funding for these large-scale Major Research Initiatives that have the ability to deliver significant impact and external funding.
Recently funded Major Research Initiatives
Antimicrobial Resistance
The Monash Warwick Alliance has jointly invested in several major challenge-led initiatives which have the potential to produce truly transformational research. The World Health Organization has declared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to be one of the top global public health threats - the Alliance is tackling AMR by training a future-ready workforce that can drive the next wave of scientific discoveries and their translation into clinical settings.
Particle Physics
What are the basic building blocks of matter? What are the fundamental interactions? What happened in the earliest stages of the Universe, and how did that result in what we observe around us today? Large international collaborations are needed to progress towards answering these questions. Bringing together expertise from Warwick and Monash groups has created a unique alliance that enables us to take ever-stronger leadership in these international endeavours.
Our Associates
The Alliance is building a stronger community of collaboration and achievement. Our Alliance Associates initiative, recognises and empowers staff and students who are actively involved in the Alliance, including those who have received MWA funding for their project or are part of our joint PhD programme. Alliance Associates are critical ambassadors promoting awareness, fostering engagement with MWA opportunities, and joining a thriving network of MWA champions.
