About Us

The Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information is an international R&D centre set up in 2003 under the national Australian CRC Program.

What we do

CRCSI conducts user-driven research in emerging areas of spatial information that address issues of national importance. In addition we carry out selected commissioned research projects for key clients.

Our partners include federal and state government agencies, universities and over 60 companies, cumulatively providing $160 million (cash and inkind) over 2010-18.

Our achievements are recognised nationally and internationally.

We have an ambitious program of work addressing market failures and supporting critical spatial infrastructure in Australia so that

essential government delivery services run more effectively, giving substantial productivity gains in
- health

WHAT SUCCESS WILL LOOK LIKE

By 2018 the CRCSI will be recognised world-wide for the high impact of our research, especially in the enabling role we played in creating a single, multi-GNSS network in Australia, and adding value to the development of the Australia-New Zealand Spatial Marketplace.

A thriving spatial industry will acknowledge the central role of the CRCSI. We will be considered an essential partner for SI research collaborations both locally and internationally.

Spatial education will be improved as a result of the CRCSI’s activities, significantly enhanced by the 50 or more new CRCSI PhDs.

The transition of the CRCSI from the CRC Program to a new sustainable entity will be complete.
