The SQNNSW Hub is working alongside world renowned climate scientists and community experts from UniSQ Research teams, 37 members and partners and the Federal Government with the vision to make our region thrive and contribute to vibrant communities by becoming more resilient, prepared and willing to adopt innovation on the ground. The national four-year program will see $86 million shared across the hubs to harness research, development, extension, adoption, commercialisation and knowledge.
The Hub empowers stakeholders to co-design drought preparedness activities for the region. The Hub will extend into the regions with proven drought-resilience research to improve innovation and adoption across agriculture, industry and the community.
