The Australian Society for Concrete Pavements (ASCP) National Executive has established an ‘Innovation Fund’ for the purpose of facilitating the advancement of knowledge and technology related to concrete pavements through education, technology transfer and research in Australia — leading to improved concrete pavement design, construction and life cycle performance (durability). ISCP is a proud partner organization of ASCP.
The National Executive in June 2024 approved and adopted the developed ‘draft’ criteria for evaluating funding assistance applications from our concrete pavement ‘innovation fund’. The Fund is open to applications from individuals, researchers and companies in the following areas:
- Concrete pavement technology;
- Concrete pavement design;
- Concrete pavement materials; and
- Concrete pavement construction.
Each submission should aim to promise significant advancements in concrete pavement technologies but also demonstrate feasibility, sustainability, and potential for broad impact. Project applications should have clear and established funding options, with expectations on deliverables, knowledge sharing/dissemination plan, milestones and collaboration pathways.
