Two-day workshop and other setup cost of ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology

We have been awarded $35M to establish an ARC CoESB. We wish to hold a two-day workshop at MQ university for Chief Investigators (19 in total) to discuss strategy and implementation of the CoESB and hit the ground running in 2020. Support is requested for development activities, travel and accommodation. Co-investment requests from RAAP NSW government and ARC are underway. ARC informed that we may expend up to $100,000 from the grant in the first year before all agreements are executed. However, the first payment of ARC funds will be in January 2020 and we need funds in November 2019.
