Water Quality Research Australia Limited (wqra)

摘要

Since the establishment of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) program in 1991, there have been more than 168 CRCs formed. They have created an opportunity to bridge the gap between government, industry and the university sectors, and do so with significant financial support from the Federal government.rnThe CRC for Water Quality and Treatment (CRC WQT) completed two terms (13 years) and had a significant impact on the Australian Water Industry. But perhaps the greatest testament to the accomplishments of the CRC has been the Water Industry's support to form a new entity which will continue to undertake targeted research for the industry beyond the life of the CRC. The baton has been passed to Water Quality Research Australia Limited (WQRA). WQRA, which was officially launched in August 2008, aims to build on the successful collaborative model of the CRC, bringing together industry, research organisations and general members, and will continue to work with state and territory health regulators and other national agencies and groups.
