Nurturing future leaders through training, mentoring and expanding research capabilities, expertise and networks.
FLEET has built a capacity in Australia for advanced electronics research, and trained a significant workforce for the electronics, semiconductor materials and quantum industries of the future.
FLEET has placed Australia at the forefront of the international electronics industry through the development of innovative electronics technologies and networks.
FLEET’s capacity building has also galvanised the Australian research community to take the lead in quantum materials and electronic materials research more broadly.
The ongoing workshops on Future Electronic Materials Research in Australia (FEMRA), initiated by FLEET, will maintain links forged within domestic and international expertise to address ‘grand challenges’ in this field.
See collaborative networks between FLEET Chief Investigators.
In seven years FLEET has trained over 230 new researchers to become future science leaders (see the case study), providing world-class training and mentoring programs, translation opportunities and training toward becoming independent science communicators (see case study).
FLEET brings Australian strength in microfabrication and nanofabrication together with world-leading expertise in van der Waals (vdW) hetero-structure fabrication to build the capacity for advanced atomically-thin device fabrication.
Ultimately it will be FLEET alumnis as much as research outputs that define the success of the Centre.
Case Studies
Women in FLEET and Diversity in FLEET
FLEET's ground-breaking Women in FLEET and following Diversity in FLEET fellowship programs are a significant legacy towards increasing participation of women and other underrepresented groups in STEM research.
Supporting programs with impact
FLEET has strategically invested in programs designed to maximise research impact through translation, training, industry engagement and commercial outputs.
Empowering members to communicate their own scientific work
Building members' science-communication skills to make them self-sufficient in communicating their own scientific discoveries.
Building future science leaders
Building Australia’s scientific capacity by training new generation of science leaders, increasing diversity in STEM via innovative Women in FLEET and Diversity in FLEET fellowships.
