The University of Melbourne has based a small research group including academic and research staff, and with technical support, at the Grains Innovation Park site of the Victorian Department of Primary Industries, Horsham.

 

As of June 2007, there are five full time PhD students based at the Horsham site and another six PhD students who are located at or near the Grains Innovation Park site.

 

The current collaboration, on a project by project basis, has been built on the Joint Centre for Crop Innovation (JCCI) and provides a key linkage between The University of Melbourne and The Victorian Department of Primary Industries in agronomy and farming systems.
