GEMOC ARC National Key Centre

GEMOC structure

The organisational structure of GEMOC is designed for efficiency, flexibility and interaction. The financial management operates within Macquarie University’s Finance System and within AccessMQ for commercialised products, some strategic collaborative research projects and for any consulting. The Teaching Program stemming from GEMOC is fully incorporated into the teaching activities and strategies of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Macquarie to ensure that GEMOC interfaces in a positive way with the existing structures while retaining a clear identity.

GEMOC is recognised as a Concentration of Research Excellence within Macquarie University.
