The ARC have tweeted that they will released Discovery Projects Expression of Interest outcomes tomorrow.
Screenshot of a tweet from the ARC saying the following: "DP26 EOI applicants: tomorrow all lead CIs will receive an email with their outcomes and all applicants will be able to get their results in RMS. Due to the volume of applications, emails may be staggered throughout the day. Stay tuned for an update.".

Good morning #ChemSky! In a fit of insomniac helpfulness, I created a starter pack of chemistry departments*. I know the pack is rather incomplete and mostly reflects English-speaking institutions due to my own linguistic & search limitations. So please feel free to reply to request additions!
