SUMMARY:From Ore to Orbit: WA’s Additive Manufacturing Advantage
DESCRIPTION:The Defence Science Centre and Western Australia’s TeamWA universities Edith Cowan University\, The University of Western Australia\, Murdoch University and Curtin University warmly invite you to join us for the next Defence Innovation on Tap event of 2026. \nEdith Cowan University’s Defence Engagement team is pleased to present From Ore to Orbit: WA’s Additive Manufacturing Advantage”\, featuring a keynote address by Dr Stephen Sun\, Research Scientist with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) and a leading expert in additive manufacturing (3D printing) for aerospace and defence applications. \nJoined by representatives from WA universities\, the discussion will examine how Western Australia can leverage its strengths in critical minerals\, engineering expertise\, research excellence and industrial capability to develop a nationally significant additive manufacturing ecosystem. As Australia advances the priorities of the National Defence Strategy and the Future Made in Australia agenda\, additive manufacturing is emerging as a key enabler of sovereign industrial capability. \nThis event will explore how greater collaboration between government\, industry and academia can help position WA at the forefront of advanced manufacturing\, delivering future defence capability\, economic growth and innovation. \nWednesday 22nd July 2026 | 5:30pm – 8:00pm | The Albany Room\, Victoria Park Hotel\, 605 Albany Hwy\, Vic Park

SUMMARY:Defence Science Centre - CRG Application Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This session is intended for researchers and industry partners interested in developing Defence-relevant solutions that enhance operational resilience and sustainment capability in challenging and contested environments.\nThis workshop will provide an overview of the current CRG funding opportunity\, which focuses on Logistics Under Conflict. The grant seeks innovative research solutions to strengthen Defence’s ability to sustain operations in remote\, northern\, maritime\, austere and contested environments\, where supply chains\, infrastructure\, health support and decision-making may be disrupted by distance\, climate impacts or adversary action. \nParticipants will gain valuable insight into Defence priorities and funding requirements\, including how proposed projects can deliver measurable sustainment outcomes such as reducing resupply requirements\, improving logistics resilience\, accelerating decision-making\, enhancing infrastructure recovery\, extending the shelf life of critical supplies\, and strengthening treatment and support capabilities in the field. \nThe workshop will also examine the five grant research priority areas: \n\nDecision advantage under disruption\nPhysical infrastructure resilience\nDisrupted health support\nCritical supply sovereignty\, preservation and substitution\nDemand reduction at the point of need\n\nThe Collaborative Research Grant (CRG) supports cross-disciplinary collaboration between researchers and industry to address Defence Innovation\, Science and Technology (IS&T) priorities and contribute to Australian Defence Force (ADF) capability. Through the CRG\, the Defence Science Centre (DSC) works in partnership with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) to enable the research and industry sectors to develop advanced and asymmetric capabilities in key technology areas. The program is jointly funded by the Western Australian Government and DSTG.
