  1. Engineering Your NextLinkage Proposal Mike Heimlich Department of Engineering

  2. Truth in advertising • This talk should be given by Tony Parker …therefore, unknown to Tony, he will be giving part of it

  3. Agenda • History • Last round • Analysis • Going forward

  4. Hey, Simon…it’s your old school chum…got any interesting problems? History – circa 2005 Besides how to make the perfect cappuccino….umm….Hey, mate, RF/microwave transistor models s^#(&*@ for doing real designs The ARC has this scheme for us to work together…it’s called a Linkage Project What’ll it cost me? Your first born. Dr. Simon Mahon Mimix Broadband Well, as long as it’s nothing too terrible…..ok! (Sweet!) And so there was “Linkage 1”

  5. History – circa 2007 Well, that was a great start, but there’s still plenty to do…. Play it again, Simon? Ok…but I actually plan on having kids now, so can I give you cash & in-kind. Dr. Simon Mahon Mimix Broadband (Sweet!) And so there was “Linkage 2”

  6. History – circa 2009…. Oh…what is it this time?!!!!! I got a new bloke who we should get to do this linkage thing What’s with the tie? He’s American Pity! Dude!….wanna actually design some circuits? Dr. Simon Mahon M/A-COM Technologies (Sweet!) And so there was “Linkage 3” …sort of…..

  7. History – circa 2009….with a twist “Linkage 3” CSIRO - SKA

  8. History – circa 2011

  9. Last round….so what happened? • Our linkage • Poor choice of Australian partner vis a vis ARC rules • Poor connection to national priorities • DP and LP review • Mining, climate change, and healthcare • National priorities • Larger collaborations not larger dollars • Better validation, lower risk, or greater outcomes

  10. Analysis - What seems to work:One Perspective • Power of LP is in the industry, not the academic • Industry validates problems/risk for ARC • Do more than listen to your industry partner • Big outcomes requires a big team • More collaboration is better: in-kind and IP • Multiple partners is better • Be relevant • Now more than ever: National Priorities!

  11. Going forward • Platform-based proposals • What IP do we have to leverage • Bigger collaborations • Include other departments at MQ • And their industry partners • National Priorities • Focus on relevance
