Research Centres & Facilities
The School of Physics & Astronomy hosts, or is involved with, various research centres which provide funding for research and promote collaboration between researchers across Monash and Australia, and throughout the world.
Staff and students at the School also have access to a wide array of research facilities and equipment - all conveniently located at, or next to, the Clayton campus. All of the facilities are world class, and some of the facilities, such as the Australian Synchrotron, are unique in Australia.
