WHAT WE DO
THE GATEWAY TO
AUSTRALIA'S DEFENCE
SCIENCE COMMUNITY
We are the gateway to Australia’s
defence science capability
DSI is uniquely positioned within Australia’s science and technology landscape, with strong links across defence and national security related industry, government and academia. We build defence science research networks, facilitate collaborations, and assemble multi-disciplinary teams including scientists, engineers, and researchers from industry and the academic community. Our experienced team provides independent, impartial advice to foster connections and collaborations.
We bring people and solutions together
One of our key roles is matching people from different sectors looking for specific capability, commercial solutions or funding opportunities. DSI identifies and brings together the most relevant and compatible partners from both a technical and cultural perspective. This holistic approach is the key to building long-term, successful collaborations.
We support collaborations through grants
DSI’s grant programs are an important tool for facilitating collaborative research and commercial projects. These grants can open the unmarked door to new partnerships and opportunities that might otherwise stay closed. We can advise you about which grants may be suitable for you, and help you through the application process.
We’re here to help
Successful, productive relationships are build on mutual respect, trust and an understanding of each side’s point of view and priorities. Because our team is made up of a diverse range of multi-disciplinary individuals and have great network connections, we are uniquely equipped to identify and connect potential partners. We provide the support and guidance to assist you to build mutually beneficial relationships with individuals across different organisations or different sectors.
