1) SPARC Hub, which is the first university-lead research collaboration platform in transport pavements (8 Australian Universities - lead by Monash University, 21+ Industry Partners and 7 overseas universities and pavement centres), is embarking on a range of exciting research projects to innovate materials, designs and adaptive technologies, facilitate skill development, and drive commercial benefits.

(2) The Hub comprises newly-established research teams lead by world-class researchers in transport pavements with many national and international collaborations, offering an unprecedented opportunity for the transport industry to solve pressing problems in transport infrastructure.

(3) The Hub aims to deliver tangible outcomes for its partners: Advanced test and design standards, New products (e.g. innovative pavement materials and automated crack sealing machine), Technical reports and specifications, etc. will be produced as a part of the Hub activities in a relatively short period.

(4) The company/organisation can propose projects to be incorporated into the Hub research activities and become a prominent Partner Organisation for a specific area. The company/organisation will be the lead partner organisation of its projects in the Hub and will have the leadership role and ownership for its projects.
