Summary of Curtin Academy International Interdisciplinary Industry Study Program (CA-I3SP): 
CA-I3SP is the first Curtin mobility program to provide students with the important triple “I” experience of an international interdisciplinary industry-focused research study. It includes 240 Curtin students and 20 staff from each Faculty (Health Science, Business and Law, Science and Engineering, and Humanities). Students are co-partnering in a consortium with educators and thought leaders from the Curtin Academy and industry experts. Students will be co-creating directly with relevant academic, industry and government agencies to explore "hot-topics" that address the theme of academic global challenges with local action-research to support the planet.
