Partners

The establishment of VSSEC would not have been possible without the support of a large number of individuals,  as well as our university and industry partners. Their ongoing support provides access to technical expertise, real data and specialist equipment. VSSEC’s partners represent leaders in education, science and engineering and their support helps to engage Australia’s future teachers, scientists and engineers.
