In June 2021, a rigorous and comprehensive external performance review of ASTRO 3D was conducted by the ARC. This review (in our fourth year of operation) had been delayed due to COVID-19. The review evaluated the Centre’s performance against the Terms of Reference and continuation of funding for the remaining years of the funding period was dependent on the outcome of the review.
The ASTRO 3D submission is downloadable from the link below and included:
- Information on the Centre’s achievements and progress against each of the objectives of the ARC Centre of Excellence Scheme
- Information on the Centre’s achievements and progress against the specific Centre objectives and performance targets or milestones as set out in the Centre proposal and the Funding Agreement
- Information on the Centre’s key challenges and the mitigation strategies in place to address these issues. This may include the Centre’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Information on the Centre’s management and structure, including the leadership role of the Centre Director and the extent to which high-quality staff and students are attracted to the Centre
- A strategic plan outlining the Centre’s operations, goals and objectives for the remaining period of funding
