ARC LE22 EOI Portal - Now Open

Each year the Victorian Universities run a combined Expression of Interest (EOI) process for the ARC LIEF scheme to strengthen the competitiveness of submissions and eliminate duplication of applications for similar infrastructure/equipment.

Accordingly, the DVCRs request that EOIs are submitted for any potential LE22 bids where either

• a VIC-based university is leading, or
• a VIC-based CI is participating on a bid led by an interstate university.

EOI and Cash Contributions Forms

Monash University is hosting the EOI process for this round, and so the EOI portal is within our Survey Monkey Apply system.

For full EOI instructions, refer to the LE22 EOI Helpsheet. 

Please note that Dept/School/Faculty cash contributions must be secured before an EOI can be submitted. Applicants should complete the Monash Contributions Form to demonstrate relevant approvals. Further instructions are available on the MRO LIEF intranet page.
