 From Slattery's Watch:

ARC Centres receive additional funding
An additional $67.6 million over three years has been provided by the 
Federal Government to 14 Australian Research Council (ARC) Centres 
funded under the Centres of Excellence scheme. Two National Priority 
areas are targeted with the additional funding - Promoting and 
Maintaining Good Health ($6,420,000) and Frontier Technologies for 
Building and Transforming Australian Industries ($61,169,627). The 
ARC Centres that received the most funding are in the areas of 
Quantum Computer Technology; Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical 
Systems; Advanced Silicon Photovoltaics and Photonics; Biotechnology 
and Development; Quantum-Atom Optics; Complex Dynamic Systems and 
Control; Autonomous Systems; Functional Nanomaterials. www.arc.gov.au

Accenture is to establish an information technology development and 
client support facility at the University of Wollongong, with the 
potential to increase to 150 jobs. Staff will be initially housed in 
Building 39 on campus but there are plans in the future to move the 
facility to the Innovation Campus. The NSW Government is backing the 
move through its Illawarra Advantage Fund.
