End-User Engagementand Co-investmentIn 2006, the ARC Centre of Excellence engaged with over 60 industry, government and NGO organizations, in many cases for the first time.The Centre has become a major research provider to local, national, and global organisations, informing policy, and providing knowledgeand training to diverse industry partners. Centre of Excellence researchers were major contributors in 2006 to intergovernmentalorganisations such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the World Bank, UNESCO, and the IntergovernmentalPanel on Climate Change, that are involved in key global declarations, World Heritage designations, and endangered or threatened speciesstatus decisions.Knowledge transfer from the ARC Centre of Excellence to industry and governments included new technologies that can better predictcoral bleaching, enhanced understandings of reef responses to climate change, and improvement in the effi ciency of conservation planning.The Centre also provided training to conservation and resource management projects, and to governments and NGOs around the world. Thetable below provides an overview of the year’s activities:I. Providing world-class research and defi ningresearch priorities:Working with industry partners to design applicable research, providing strategic researchdirection, serving on boards and committees, advising governments and NGOs.II. Research Outputs:New discoveries, methodologies and understandings, peer-reviewed publications,reports, conference presentations & proceedings, etc.III. Knowledge Transfer:Providing advice and information to industry, policy-makers, and other end-users;transferring technology; training courses; and informing the general public.IV. End-User Applications:Our research is applied by end-users to improve management practices, e.g. theestablishment and re-zoning of protected areas, initiation of sustainable harvestingprojects, development of sustainable practices, and enactment of policies to ensuredelivery of ecosystem goods and services.32
