“Our consistent success in attracting competitive research funding is evidence of our high-calibre researchers and the direct relevance of their projects to solving pressing global problems,” Professor H酶j said.
澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 attracted funding across three ARC schemes:
- In , 78 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 proposals share a total of just over $30 million. 澳门管家婆三肖三码必开 enjoyed a 23.56 per cent success rate across its Discovery Project applications, well ahead of the national average of 17.7 per cent.
