CRC CARE

CRC CARE (the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment) is a multi-partner research organisation at the forefront of research and technology development for the assessment, remediation and prevention of soil, water and air contamination. World class researchers from universities across Australia work with industry on global contamination issues, engaging with major end users such as the mining and petroleum industries, environmental regulators, government organisations, SMEs and consultants. In addition to its substantial research program, CRC CARE also plays a key role in training and educating students, consultants and end users in the field of environmental risk and remediation. CRC CARE's postgraduate students work in conjunction with its researchers to find solutions to local and global issues, producing a new cohort of highly qualified, suitable trained and industry-ready scientists to help in the fight against environmental contamination. The industry training program enhances knowledge and encourages professional development of environment industry professionals, and raises the awareness of new concepts and technologies in contamination assessment, remediation and prevention. Training is designed to meet end user needs, and is often organised in conjunction with other industry peak bodies.
