1.    Purpose of the CRC Start Up Playbook
 
Rozetta Institute supports and values the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Program. Unique in the world, the CRC Program supports medium- to long-term, industry-led collaborative research, to transform an industry sector. Our approach to collaborative research in our CRCs is to stay focused on developing commercial solutions to industry identified challenges.
 
One of our roles is to help magnify Australia’s innovation capabilities through the development of a range of tools and programs that inform and underpin the success of Australia. We have initiated the development of this Playbook to support any CRC (or similar large research initiative) that is looking for a proven plan and set of templates to fast-track the start up of their venture. We invite anyone who wants to add to the Playbook to contact us. We would like this to be a resource that continues to grow for the benefit of all of Australia.
