Established in 2016, the Holmesglen Centre for Applied Research and Innovation acts as an important driver of our relationships with industry and the community.
It provides a supportive environment for Holmesglen Researchers and is an important complement to our teaching and learning programme.
At the recent ASPIRE Conference, the Centre for Applied Research and Innovation launched its annual review of the previous year’s research. Titled Holmesglen Applied Research ’23: the path ahead, this report recognises the individual and combined achievements of Holmesglen research during 2023: it showcases recent research conducted at Holmesglen Institute, our research engagement with industry and community and how this provides a window into current practice and future possibilities for applied research in TAFE.
