Deakin University’s Carbon Nexus is marking its 10 year anniversary.
The facility was established at the Waurn Ponds campus in 2014, with the aim to support the development of carbon fibre products and technologies.
It has since partnered with global companies including Ford, Vestas, PETRONAS and Boeing.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Matthew Clarke said the impact Carbon Nexus had showed Deakin’s commitment to partnerships and collaboration.
“Carbon Nexus is tackling the big problems facing Australian manufacturing, with sustainability at the forefront,” he said.
“Our leading organic chemistry, materials science and engineering experts are making a lasting impact by developing smarter, more sustainable and stronger carbon materials that will grow the economy and benefit our planet for generations to come.”
