Expressions of Interest for
RIRDC Advisory Committees
RIRDC has a single, specific
objective: to maximize the contribution of our R&D investments to the
profitability, sustainability and resilience of rural industries and communities.
RIRDC’s Advisory Committees
play a crucial role in helping to shape strategic research plans and identify
the best research to implement them. The expertise of individual committee
members is critical to this role.
RIRDC invites suitable candidates
to submit an Expression of Interest to the Corporation to be considered
for a register of prospective committee members.
While there are no specific
vacancies on any of the committees at present, the membership of these
committees is refreshed on a regular basis, and candidates on the register
established from these expressions of interest will be invited to join
committees as appropriate vacancies arise.
This process will complement,
not replace, existing industry processes to identify advisory committee
representatives.
