Centre for Comparative Genomics, Murdoch University
Murdoch University's Centre for Comparative Genomics has been a research partner with CLIMA for a long time. CCG specifically has been a research partner in two ARC linkage research projects from 2007 on genetics and genomics of pasture legumes and specifically subterranean and red clovers.
The WA Centre of Excellence in Comparative Genomics (CCG) represents a unique approach to research in Comparative Genomics. It draws together both biomedical and agricultural comparative genomics and bioinformatics activities and expertise in such a way as to promote shared understanding within and across fields of study.

Huazhong Agricultural University, China
Huazhong Agricultural University (HZAU) is collaborating with CLIMA for research on oil seeds.
HZAU consists of 15 colleges and departments. With a particular focus on life science, HZAU also gives much emphasis on the rational disciplinary construction of agriculture, sciences, engineering, arts, law, economics, and management.
HZAU has established exchange and cooperation relationships with more than 60 institutions in 20 countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Britain and France. It has also built up joint training programs with many foreign universities.
In addition, 20 international foundations and organisations have developed cooperation programs with HZAU.

French National Institute for Agricultural Research
The French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) has been collaborating with CLIMA from 2006, mainly focusing on tissue culture techniques and their application in legumes.
INRA's research is guided by developments in scientific fields and focuses on worldwide challenges related to food and nutrition, the environment and land use facing the world of agriculture and agronomics today. Such challenges, which include climate change, human nutrition, competition between food and non-food crops, the exhaustion of fossil resources and appropriate land management, put agronomists in a position to generate compatible economic, social and environmental development.
INRA produces fundamental knowledge that leads to innovation and know-how for society. INRA lends its expertise to public decision-making.
