ARC Training Centre in Optimisation Technologies, Integrated Methodologies, and Applications (OPTIMA)

OPTIMA解决了行业对全球竞争力决策工具的迫切需求：减少交货时间，财务和环境成本，同时提高效率，质量和敏捷性。尽管在学术界有很强的专业知识，但由于进入壁垒很高，工业界尚未从优化技术中充分受益。OPTIMA将行业合作伙伴与世界领先的跨学科研究人员和才华横溢的学生联系起来，将推进行业就绪的优化工具包，同时培训新一代行业从业者和120多名年轻研究人员，为先进制造业，能源资源和关键基础设施领域的转型提供高技能的变革推动者。

OPTIMA addresses industry’s urgent need for decision-making tools for global competitiveness: reducing lead times, and financial and environmental costs, while improving efficiency, quality, and agility. Despite strong expertise in academia, industry is yet to fully benefit from optimisation technology due to its high barrier to entry. Connecting industry partners with world-leading interdisciplinary researchers and talented students, OPTIMA will advance an industry-ready optimisation toolkit, while training a new generation of industry practitioners and over 120 young researchers, vanguarding a highly skilled workforce of change agents for transformation of the advanced manufacturing, energy resources, and critical infrastructure sectors.
