H.4 H.5 Document Management and Advisory Committee Meetings at least monthly and annually, respectively. Advisory Committee meetings have been held annually in June 2004 and June 2005. Management meetings are scheduled fortnightly. At the latter, reports have been written for each meeting to document progress in each of the research areas. Monthly overview meetings are also held for the entire Centre for information dissemination and the presentation of brief (6 minute) reports from each area of activity including the Lab Operations Team, External Affairs and Teaching. In addition to the overview meetings, members of the Management team also hold meetings with the respective staff and students from their particular area in relation to the corresponding research and other activities. Such meetings are normally held either on a fortnightly or monthly basis, except for teaching meetings which involve most staff and are only held every few months. 8.2 Progress Against ARC Designated Performance Indicators Subsequently to the initial application, the ARC also designated an additional set of performance indicators. Progress against these is documented below. Quality of publications – the Centre has achieved its target of 30% of its publications in refereed journals each year, with 31.5% in 2003 and 35.6% in 2004 and 33.6% in 2005. The Centre’s 2005 publications are listed towards the end of this report. Number of publications – the Centre has easily achieved its target of 50 publications per year with 89 in 2003, 101 in 2004 and 113 in 2005. Number of patents per year – the Centre’s programs have led to more than the expected 1 new patent per year. In fact there were 2 in 2003, 4 in 2004 and 7 in 2005. The patents are reasonably well distributed between the three generations of PV technology with 4 in the 1st generation PV area, 5 in the 2nd generation PV area, 3 in the 3rd generation PV area and 1 in the characterisation area. Invitations to address and participate in International Conferences – the Centre has easily achieved its target of 2 per year with more than 40 of such invitations having been received since 2003. Invitations to visit leading international laboratories – quite a few Centre staff regularly receive invitations to visit leading international laboratories with almost 30 such invited visits taking place. This is well above the target number of 2/year. Number and nature of commentaries about the Centre’s achievements – the target number of 2 media articles per year has been well exceeded with more than 50 examples of such media interaction documented. Number of postgraduates recruited – the Centre has recruited 25 postgraduate students since 2003, well ahead of the target of 4 per year. The new enrolments include 19 postgraduate research students and 14 postgraduate coursework students. 156
Number of postgraduate completions – the Centre has achieved 23 postgraduate completions, comprising 14 postgraduate research students and 9 postgraduate coursework students. Most of the former commenced their research degrees before the Centre commenced, with completion numbers expected to increase over the next couple of years due to the increased numbers of enrolments since being awarded the Centre. Despite this, the numbers of completions are well ahead of the target value of 3 per year. Number of honours students – despite the challenging target of producing 10 honours students per year and the delay in producing the fi rst graduates, the success of the Centre’s new undergraduate program has enabled it to comfortably exceed this average with 32 honours graduates to date primarily in 2004 and 2005. Number of professional courses – the Centre on average has run more than 8 such courses per year, ahead of the target fi gure of 6 per year. Participation in professional courses – there has been 25 professional courses run by the Centre since 2003. The target fi gure of 20 enrolments per course has been comfortably achieved with the course average being above 50. Number and level of undergraduate and high school courses in the priority area(s) – the Centre has run a large number of undergraduate courses in the priority area. The average number run each year exceeds 16, exceeding the target number of 12 per year. Number of international visitors – the Centre has received approaching 100 international visitors in the last 3 years well ahead of the target number of 10 per year. Number of national and international workshops – the Centre has achieved its target of 3 workshops per year with participation in 16 such workshops internationally during the period 2003-2005. Number of visits to overseas laboratories – these were listed in chronological order in the documentation produced for the ARC during the Centre’s review in late 2005. The total number comfortably exceeds the target number of 10 per year. Examples of relevant Social Science and Humanities research supported by the Centre – as described above, staff and students from the Centre have been actively involved in developing countries projects involved in providing renewable energy power sources to materially disadvantaged people who have in many cases never previously had access to electricity. Six Centre staff and more than 30 Centre students have participated in these projects including travelling to locations such as Nepal, Sri Lanka and Nicaragua to live briefl y with the locals, provide technical expertise to local technicians, design and install PV systems, and train locals in the use and maintenance of the new technology. This work is usually done in conjunction with Aid Organisations or local institutions. Number and nature of commercialisation activities – the Centre has engaged in 15 technology transfers which have in general been to companies who have licensed or purchased Centre technology, in some cases prior to the establishment of the Centre of Excellence in 2003. In addition, with the rapid growth of the PV industry, Centre staff are often also heavily involved in assisting companies in expanding or setting up new manufacturing facilities. These activities have exceeded the Centre’s target of 4 such technology transfers per year. 157
