ARCPOH — foundation and mission
The Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health (ARCPOH) was established
by The University of Adelaide in 2001 to undertake research and research training
in population oral health at a standard that is internationally recognised
to be of the highest quality.
Aims
To achieve that end, ARCPOH aims to:
- continue and extend the research program and associated research training
that is currently undertaken in Adelaide and with colleagues elsewhere in
Australia and overseas;
- extend and strengthen collaborative relationships with researchers in Australia
and overseas, bringing distinguished and stimulating visitors to Adelaide
and generally through ongoing interaction, fostering synergies that will
increase the Centre's scholarly output;
- attract postgraduate research students of the highest potential;
- increase and diversify the financial support for the Centre's research
including necessary infrastructure.
