APR.Intern has partnered with the Defence Science Institute (DSI) to provide financial support to VIC-based businesses servicing the Defence sector and deliver a cost effective solution to tackle R&D.

Under the agreement, DSI will provide eligible businesses with a $10,000 APR.Intern subsidy. Businesses can utilise this to access academic expertise through APR.Intern’s short-term PhD student research placements, fill a skills gap and fast-track projects.
