The Centre for Collaborative Contracting
The science of collaboration for infrastructure projects and services delivery
The Centre for Collaborative Contracting is an independent initiative from the Alliancing Association of Australasia focusing on advancing the state of excellence in the application and management of collaborative business engagements in the delivery of public, commercial, industrial or social infrastructure projects or services.
Collaborative contracting, as a field of study or science, is at the cross road between several important fields of knowledge intervening together to support the fundamental capabilities required in the successful management of complex multi-parties business engagements, Joint ventures, virtual project organisations and multi-disciplinary teams. These include:

The Centre for Collaborative Contracting's mission is to:
- document regional excellence in the application of business collaboration in infrastructure development ,
- advance the definition of models and practices in response to the evolution in the context of the infrastructure sector,
- promote and share with practitioners in others countries the lessons learnt by local practitioners through our world leading experience.
