The CSIRO Medal for Support Excellence was awarded to the Future Research Vessel team for the design, construction and commissioning of RV Investigator.

On Wednesday, 28 October staff, family, friends, dignitaries and industry colleagues gathered at the National Gallery of Australia to honour the 2015 CSIRO Award winners.

The CSIRO Medal for Support Excellence was awarded to the Future Research Vessel Project Team, for the successful design, construction and commissioning of the new Marine National Facility research vessel, Investigator, a state-of-the-art research platform to support, enable and inspire marine science in Australia.

The team was absolutely stoked to be recognised for its contribution to Australian marine science!
