Strategic Plan

Mission

To provide an internationally competitive facility in the fields of magnetic resonance research, teaching and commercial production.

Objectives

  • Promote research in the areas of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, imaging and engineering
  • Provide leadership, both within Australia and overseas, in the field of magnetic resonance research
  • Construct equipment and software in accordance with developed patents for sale internationally
  • Provide leadership in teaching magnetic resonance technology to an international market
  • Promote magnetic resonance as a research tool in diverse disciplines
  • Advance the Centre's research and reputation of successful achievement through collaborative partnerships both domestically and internationally.

Strategies

  • Encourage and facilitate multi-disciplinary research enabling joint applications for funding
  • Recruit staff from diverse disciplines by encouraging them to use magnetic resonance as an aid to their research and provide new insights into science
  • Promote and enhance the discipline through consulting activities, the commercialisation of the Centre's successful achievements, and the sale of its products
  • Develop and commercialise programs for the analysis of magnetic resonance spectra and images
  • Continually improve, redesign and modify successful inventions in order to remain a market leader
  • Design and construct high quality and reliable innovative products for the magnetic resonance international market
  • Teach the fundamental principles and operational skills associated with magnetic resonance through the appointment of postgraduate scholars
  • Teach Magnetic Resonance Technology to professional radiographers at postgraduate level to provide them with career opportunities not otherwise available
  • Promote MR by delivering short courses to professional radiographers in dustry to enhance their careers and provide them with MR basic skills and experience
  • Undertake collaborative research in a multi-disciplinary environment to improve drug evaluation methods, medical diagnostics and chemical analysis for the benefit of society and the discipline of magnetic resonance
