The Evolution & Ecology Research Centre draws together the diverse strengths of 18 academic staff, 8 independent research fellows, and over forty postgraduate students from the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the School of Medical Sciences at UNSW in Sydney, Australia.

 

The Centre's purpose is to build capacity for and quality of research, including postgraduate research and supervision. To do so, we provide seed funding for innovative new research collaborations, recognize excellence in research, learning and supervision, run an innovative Graduate Program in Evolution & Ecology, and engage in public outreach relating to evolution and ecology.

FAMER operates out of the School of BEES at UNSW. Their site includes information on present and past staff and students, areas of research interest, images and media items and useful links to research groups with similar interests and projects.

The CRC Programme is a Commonwealth Government initiative which aims to 'change the research culture' of Australia. Government funds are matched by industry support in a collaborative program that strengthens links between industry, research organisations and educational institutions. The CRC for Spatial Information provides specialised training and technology transfer in the spatial sciences.
