Introduction

The Primary Industries Innovation Centre (PIIC) is a joint venture partnership between Industry & Investment NSW (I&I) and the University of New England (UNE) to boost primary industries research, extension and training outcomes with a special focus on the New England - North West Region of NSW.  A memorandum of understanding was reached between the parties and PIIC was launched as a concept in February 2005.  In February 2007, PIIC became a fully funded joint venture between UNE and NSW I&I and a full-time director was appointed in August 2007. The objectives of PIIC are to:

• Facilitate the joint development, implementation, review and evaluation of projects which improve the understanding and management of primary industries;

• Facilitate science communication between each party;

• Enhance the training and science capacity of each party;

• Improve the research opportunities of the parties; and

• Promote the reputations, capabilities and expertise of the respective parties.
