Overview (8 min)

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 over 50 new CRCSI PhDs.

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