Welcome to the ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science (ACEVS)

The Centre brings together major research programs in vision sciences at four universities: The Australian National University, The University of Queensland, The University of Sydney, and The University of Western Australia.

Our research is focused on unravelling the cellular basis of visual sensing and processing; on revealing the algorithms that underlie the visual control of behaviour and perception; and on discovering the cellular mechanisms that make the eye and retina stable, and whose breakdown causes blindness.

The Centre receives the bulk of its funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC), with substantial additional funding from the four universities and several partner organisations.
