5 MR DAVE FLEMING Innovation Connections Facilitator for the Newcastle, The Greater Hunter and Central Coast region of NSW. Role is to connect local companies with the technical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment available from publicly funded research organisations. These connections can then lead to collaborative R&D projects to help companies develop their commercial innovations with the support of the research organisation. Has spent the past 13 years working in a technology transfer and research business development role for the University of Newcastle through the R&D company Newcastle Innovation Ltd. Also has worked in the private sector, undertaking business development and business management roles for multinational and local companies.

11 Innovation Connections Programme 2 parts Innovation Connections Facilitation (free) the focus is to help SMEs collaborate with the research sector to develop new ideas with commercial potential Innovation Connections Grants (matching funding)- Provides 2 x $50k of matched funding for SME s to engage with researchers and 1 x $30k funding for Graduate Placement (non-competitive and originally devised as a precursor to potential ARC linkage grant applications)

12 Grant Funding available under IC Researcher Placement: utilise the expertise and resources of a researcher to work on an innovation project for you (up to $50,000 available to support an engagement); Business Researcher Placement: funding to support salary costs for your employee(s) to work with a Publicly Funded Research Organisation on your innovation project (up to $50,000 available to support your employee(s) time on the project); Graduate Placement: the employment of a graduate or post graduate into the Company to undertake a specific Innovation Connections project collaboratively with a Publicly Funded Research Organisation (up to a maximum of $30,000). 12 CSIRO SME Connect

13 Innovation Connections Key Points Minimum of 1.5 days per week per researcher involved in the IC Project Up to 3 researchers can be involved in any one project Each Project (up to 2) has a maximum Ausindustry matched funding value of $50,000 Each Project has a maximum time limit of 1 year The grant is non-competitive and only requires company eligibility and project eligibility

14 Innovation Connections Key Points Grant application and approval is an easy, web-based process with minimal effort required from research organisations or the company in order to proceed (can take around 4 8 weeks to start a project) Minimum legal review is required by the research organisation (UoN has a template agreement already approved) IP arrangements are handled in a pragmatic way to assist both researchers and companies achieve what they need from the Project End of project reporting is a simple templated two page tick box requirement for the researcher and the company to complete.

19 ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR CRAIG WHEELER School of Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment Research Expertise My principal research interests involve the transportation and handling of bulk materials using belt conveyor systems. The importance of belt conveying systems to the mining and minerals processing industries is immense. In a global sense, hundreds of billions of tonnes of bulk materials are transported by belt conveyors each year to transport bulk materials, such as coal, iron ore, bauxite and grain, over distances ranging from several metres to tens of kilometres. Stacker Conveyor Newcastle Coal Loader - Australia. Coal t/hr Overland Conveyors Soma Power Station - Turkey Coal km

20 Projects Period Title Funding Body Scheme Role Amount Optimisation of on-line weighing system for conveyors Development of an innovative conveyor belt lifting technology and associated belt clamps 2017 Develop and optimise a cement lined water based end pipe fitting technology 2017 Development of a Noise Attenuation Technology for the Rexnord Reducer/Gearbox product 2017 Optimisation and testing of a novel mining conveyor support system 2017 Validation and optimisation of the ShoulderMaster operation and design 2017 Development of Mechanical Overfill Protection System for Diesel Refueling 2017 Development of a Novel Rail Pre-tensioning System 2017 Advanced de-watering of problematic ore and tailings using a horizontal conveyor belt filter Stage Autonomous on-line conveyor belt weighing system integrated into roller 2016 Advanced de-watering of problematic ore and tailings using a horizontal conveyor belt filter Stage 1 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000 Control Systems Technology Pty Ltd Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $97,713 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $49,326 TS Global Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $49,327 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections CI $33,108 Pipe Lining & Coating Pty Limited Innovation Connections Partner Funds CI $33,108 Rexnord Australia Pty Ltd Innovation Connections Partner Funds CI $24,000 UME Components Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $50,000 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $50,000 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000 Banlaw Pty Ltd Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $8,000 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000 Melvelle Equipment Corporation Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $52,314 Jord International Pty Limited Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $49,915 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $49,915 Control Systems Technology Pty Ltd Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $60,413 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000 Jord International Pty Limited Innovation Connections Partner Funds Lead $50,000 Department of Industry, Innovation and Science Innovation Connections Lead $50,000

26 DOCTOR DAVID BRADNEY School of Engineering [Mechanical Engineering] Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment Completed PhD in Mechanical Engineering - focused on simulation and measured performance of wind turbines in turbulent environments. Expertise lies in simulation using Finite Element modelling (FEA), computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Mechanical design. PhD evolved extensive experimental work with numerous data accusation systems.

27 How I got involved with Innovation connections: At the completion of my PhD there was the opportunity to be involved in an Innovation Connection project with Melvelle Equipment Corporation to design a new narrow rail tensor

28 What I got out of Innovation Connections Completing a PhD doesn t allow for much opportunity to think beyond the PhD Being involved with an Innovation Connections project allowed me time to transition to life after the PhD.

29 What I got out of Innovation Connections An opportunity to utilise my skills in a challenging and interesting industrial project. Provided an excellent pathway to transition from my PhD. Provided an opportunity to work on the project half the time, allowing me to lecture (in Mechanical Design), and write research papers from my PhD during the remaining time.

30 What I got out of Innovation Connections I was lecturing in courses in Mechanical Design and Advanced Computer aided engineering both of which tied in well with Innovations Connection project Many of the topics of was teaching, I was also applying in parallel with the Innovations Connections project, which allowed me to provide greater depth to my teaching.

31 Where am I now I enjoyed re-engaging with industry and am now working for TUNRA Bulk Solids consulting directly with Industry. The skills developed through the Innovation Connections project provided a great stepping stone to my current working environment.
