TechLauncher Management System

The TechLauncher Management System is an instance of Redmine tailored to help us manage TechLauncher participants and projects.

To use the system, you must first register your interest in participating in TechLauncher (instructions below). Once your registration is approved, you will be able to login to perform a range of functions including:

  • Modifying your profile
  • Creating project proposals
  • Modifying and Deleting your project proposals

You can access the TechLauncher Management System at:

Why are we using Redmine?

TechLauncher students learn within a context that is much broader than the ANU. They work with external organisations and individuals, and at locations around the ACT. Participants come from across the ANU, industry, government and the broader community. It is this context and breadth of involvement that provides our students with a deeply engaged and effective learning environment.

We believe that it is important that all participants, including those external to the ANU, are able to fully participate in all aspects of TechLauncher. Unfortunately, ANU learning management systems such as Wattle cannot be used by people external to the ANU. So, we need to employ a system that can be accessed by all TechLauncher participants.

Redmine has been chosen because it is a well established tool for managing projects, can be configured to satisfy the specific needs of TechLauncher, and is easily deployed and managed on cloud platforms such as Google and Amazon.
