The C.Y. O’Connor ERADE Village Foundation (CYOEVF) is a small charitable organisation.  Its primary purpose is to support agricultural research, education and start-up businesses in the Peel region.  

The campus is located in North Dandalup in order to facilitate trials and real-world applications in agricultural science.  The intention is to accommodate researchers, staff, start-up businesses and community servers including pilots, firefighters and others.  

The Foundation collaborates here and overseas and seeks to connect the intellects of young Australian and international postgraduates. 

In addition to facilities, the Foundation provides support to scientists and inventors, including innovation awards and employment.
