The CRDC investment round for 2020-21 commenced in Brisbane today with our RD&E Priority Forum, held in conjunction with the Cotton Australia general meeting.
During today's forum, we sat down with the Cotton Australia grower panels to work through where we're up to a year into our new CRDC Strategic RD&E Plan, and to identify research gaps. From here, we'll be developing our Expression of Interest guidelines for the 2020-21 round, and issuing a call in August for researchers to respond.
