Beating the drum for CRCs

In late May, a group of young indigenous musicians created some fantastic rhythms to open the CRC Association’s 2010 conference in Alice Springs with a bang.

The Drum Atweme  group is made up of children from Alice Springs’ town camps. They play Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music, with a unique central Australian flavour. Currie, who works with several CRCs, sponsored the performance.

“The drummers were amazing, and a good metaphor for CRCs,” said Currie’s senior consultant Gabrielle Sheehan who witnessed the show.

“They gave delegates a subtle reminder of what can be achieved when people work hard, in harmony, towards a common goal.”

CRCs pursue solutions to major challenges faced by end users. There are currently around 50 CRCs are set up in diverse sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, medical science and mining.

The CRC Association’s annual conference brings together researchers, educators and industry people to share information and insights on cooperative research. Gabrielle attended to find out the latest on the Australian Government’s CRC Program, to speak with Currie’s CRC clients and others involved with the program.    

In life-before-Currie, Gabrielle worked for the Dairy CRC so CRCs, with their unique communication challenges and opportunities, are close to her heart. 

Currie has worked with several CRCs including Future Farm Industries, Spatial Information, Bushfire, Sheep Industry Innovation, National Plant Biosecurity, CAST and Australian Biosecurity, and have assisted prospective CRCs with their funding bids.
