The Poultry CRC's major challenge was to help Australia achieve sustainable, ethical poultry production in the face of population growth and climate change.

In July 2008, the Poultry CRC won the World's Poultry Science Association (WPSA) Industry/Organization Award at the World's Poultry Congress in Brisbane in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the development of the poultry industry. In August 2012, the Poultry CRC was awarded the WPSA's Education Award at the World's Poultry Congress in Brazil for their exceptional contribution to poultry education. In addition, the Poultry CRC received an Australian Collaborative Innovation Award in May 2012.

Structure of the CRC

edit

Poultry CRC was an unincorporated joint venture among seven essential participants and was governed by a skills-based board. It manages its research and development programme through a public company, Poultry CRC Ltd. Poultry CRC is headquartered at the University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales, and has an extensive collaborative network comprising researchers, educators, and support staff from its participating organizations. The original Poultry CRC was established on 1 July 2003, with the subsequent CRC being extended to 2017.[citation needed]
