Our Impact
The impact achieved by the CRCSI from its activities since 2010 will be AU$1.07 billion, meaning that for every AU$1 invested by the CRCSI there will be a resulting benefit of AU$3.13.
Between 2010 and 2018 the CRCSI delivered a research impact of AU$461 million from AU$322 million in costs.
Much of the benefit results from the CRCSI research delivering outcomes that reduce costs to end users either in collection, processing, delivery, maintenance or usage.
