About Us
Melbourne TrACEES Platform (Trace Analysis for Chemical, Earth and Environmental Sciences) is funded by Melbourne Research Infrastructure (Melbourne Collaborative Research Infrastructure Program), together with Faculties of Science, Veterinary and Agricultural Science, and Arts. It is the first University platform to support existing and initiate new research requiring high quality surface chemical analysis, trace elemental and speciation analysis, and associated structural chemical analysis. There is a growing demand for building up analysis capabilities and infrastructure to meet these requirements which will further the research endeavours of the University.
- Mission & Vision
Mission: The University of Melbourne TrACEES Platform is dedicated to providing high quality and unique surface and chemical analysis technical support and expertise for research in chemical materials environmental and life sciences together with ongoing training of research students and staff.
Vision: The University of Melbourne TrACEES Platform will offer world class surface and chemical analysis services to researchers of the University, other academic and research institutions and industry to support cutting edge research and training development of research partnerships and excellence. - Capability Steering Committee
