Three Flinders University projects will now get underway, having seen recent success with funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC).<\/p>\n
Under the ARC Linkage Projects<\/a> scheme, grand visions for broad social reform and environmental research efforts will get underway in 2025, with two Flinders University-led projects to be supported and co-funded by a range of government, not-for-profit, private and university partners.<\/p>\n One project led by Professor Svetlana Bogomolova<\/a>, from Flinders University\u2019s\u00a0Centre for Social Impact<\/a>, will work with social, health and community sectors to develop a new \u2018social prescribing\u2019 model to \u201ctackle growing unmet social needs of people experiencing disadvantage\u201d.<\/p>\n While Associate Professor Martin Breed<\/a>, from the College of Science and Engineering, will lead a project to expand on a proven system to more sustainably revegetate large areas of environmentally denuded land in south-western Australia.<\/p>\n The third project, funded by the ARC’s 2025 Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities scheme<\/a>, will see the establishment of the Australian Microarchaeological and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP), giving researchers greater capacity to analyse our past at the microscopic level.<\/p>\n Led by Associate Professor Mike Morley<\/a> from the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, AusMAP will be the first of its kind in the world and will position Australia at the very forefront of micro-scale data generation, aiming to revolutionise the ways scientists address key questions and grand challenges in the fields of archaeology, palaeontology and the geosciences.<\/p>\n You can read more about AusMAP here<\/a>, and the other successfully funded Linkage projects here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
