Project: Research

Project Details

Project Description

In line with Woodside’s Innovation & Technology Hub (WITH) strategy, the WICM will aim to:

1 Attract and grow a cohort of technology leaders and expert
researchers who will:

a) Transfer their technical knowledge and expertise to the Australian industry via leading events and seminars held at both Monash and Woodside.

b) Train the next generation of technical managers and researchers

2 Identify, develop, test and jointly commercialise current and next generation engineering and IT technologies being researched by Monash University (and its network of partners) that can be readily applied to the oil and gas industry.

3 Build and maintain a Global Collaboration Network which ensures the Centre and its partners, and more broadly the Australian industry, are at the forefront of new and emerging disruptive technologies relevant to the oil and gas industry.

4 Provide a dynamic multi-disciplinary environment, both physical and virtual, for the Centre partners and their staff to jointly learn, collaborate and explore new engineering and IT technologies and their possible application to the oil and gas sector.

5 Leverage the past decade of strong growth by re-investing in Australian capabilities, talent and technologies to produce disruptive new commercial opportunities for Australia.

6 Leave a legacy for Australia in the form of a strong, highly specialized, new Innovation Centre at a top 100 University.
