Named after Peter Waite, the Waite Research Institute is internationally recognised for our world-class research, mentoring and development of postgraduate and early career researchers and commercialisation activities in agriculture. Our fundamental and applied research underpins innovation in Australia's agricultural industries.
WRI was established in 2009-10 to facilitate further development of the world-class capability and technologies at the Waite precinct. The WRI keeps alive the vision of Peter Waite in leading and providing support for collaborative initiatives that bring about step changes in Australian agricultural science and practice.
Supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure and the unique collective strength of the co-located partners, our research is transdisciplinary and collaborative in nature with national and international connections to major industry sectors, government and other high-quality research organisations.
