Welcome
The Australian Research Network for Advanced Materials (ARNAM) links together scientists and engineers from diverse disciplines under the one banner to substantially enhance the impact and outcomes of materials research.
The network's research profile is based around the production, processing, characterization, theory and properties of advanced materials, covering bulk, near-surface and thin films. The manufacturing industry and end-user focus of the research covers the following areas:
- Materials drivers for high tech IT, communications and sensor applications
- Innovative structural and functional materials for diverse applications
- Materials solutions for advanced manufacturing
- Materials for a sustainable Australia
The Network aims:
- To enhance research collaboration, interchange of research results and ideas.
- To enhance access to expertise, facilities and cooperation, particularly in areas of materials research at the boundaries of traditional disciplines.
- To enhance research training and career opportunities for students/early career researchers (ECRs), and to help them to connect with the materials community nationally and internationally.
- To connect with industry both directly and through links with industry associations and networks.
- To foster international links with other countries, networks and researchers.
The Network supports:
- Specialist interdisciplinary workshops in topical research areas of relevance to the Networks.
- A major annual event that brings the materials community together.
- Initiatives that assist research and career opportunities for ECRs and research students.
- Travel and accommodation for collaborative research particularly for ECRs/ Research students.
- Study tours for overseas researchers.

Major National Research Facilities accessibility through ARNAM | |||||
 There are major national research infrastructure facilities that are accessible by Australian researcher and are of importance to members of ARNAM in: Details of facilities & access details can be found on NCRIS websites. ARNAM has a funding scheme for research students and ECRS to visit Australian (and overseas) laboratories and facilities for collaborative research purposes. Access to approved NCRIS (Fabrication and Characterisation) facililites by reseach students and ECRs will also be eligibe for travel and accomodation support from ARNAM through our research student/ECR travel grants.

 | ARNAM 2006 Annual Workshop |
The ARC Australian Research Network for Advanced Materials 2006 Annual Event will be an informal workshop in Brisbane at the University of Queensland targeted for around 140 - 150 participants
The two and a half day workshop will focus on the following four research areas:
- Materials drivers for high tech IT, communications and sensor applications
- Innovative structural and functional materials for diverse applications
- Materials solutions for advanced manufacturing
- Materials for a sustainable Australia
Workshop Format:
- A small number of plenary overview papers from Australian and overseas research leaders
- Parallel sessions of contributed papers in the four research focus areas (mainly from research students and early career researchers)
Important Details:
- Abstracts of contributed papers can be submitted online
- Abstract deadline 31 March 2006
- ARNAM will heavily subsidise registration and local costs for participants
- Prestigious paper prizes will be awarded to student and early career researchers in each of the research focus areas
- Contributing students and early career researchers can apply for travel grants
The International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2006) takes place the following week from the 3 - 7 July 2006 also in Brisbane. This Nanotechnology conerence may be attractive to attendees of the ARNAM workshop.
