Centre for Applied and Responsible AI
The Centre for Applied and Responsible AI (CARA) applies a deep expertise across AI, human-computer interaction, optimisation, data science, robotics, cybersecurity, and digital health.
Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies
The Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies (CBSPT) is actively involved in both fundamental and applied research on a range of problems associated with bulk solids and particulate technology. Research areas include storage, flow, processing and transportation of bulk solids. CBSPT also provides specialist courses for industry through its professional development programs.
Centre for Conservation Science
The Centre for Conservation Science brings together people like conservation biologists, social scientists, health workers, artists, and communication experts. By working together, they create conservation solutions that can help protect nature here and around the world.
Centre for Construction Safety and Well-being
The Centre for Construction Safety and Well-being (CCSW) is a collaboration between the University of Newcastle and construction company Hansen Yuncken, located within the university's School of Architecture and Built Environment.
Centre for Critical Minerals and Urban Mining
The transition to net zero depends on a secure supply of critical minerals and rare earth elements, and on better ways to recover value materials from urban waste. The Centre for Critical Minerals and Urban Mining (CRITIUM) brings together multidisciplinary scientific expertise and industry engagement to tackle these challenges and deliver transformational advances and real-world outcomes.
Centre for Geotechnical Science and Engineering
The Centre for Geotechnical Science and Engineering develops new models and innovative computational methods for predicting the behaviour of geomaterials, metals and composites. Advanced computational methods, coupled with laboratory and field testing are key tools in this pursuit.
Centre for Innovative Energy Technologies
The Centre for Innovative Energy Technologies conducts cutting edge research on emerging energy technologies, with particular focus on the abatement of greenhouse gases, and clean and sustainable energy production.
Centre for Integrated Resilience: Coasts, Water and Climate
The Centre for Integrated Resilience: Coastal, Water and Climate tackles big challenges like climate change, water security, coastal risks, and the health of ecosystems.
Centre for Organic Electronics
The Centre for Organic Electronics is focused on the scientific challenges in the development of organic photovoltaics for the next generation of environmentally friendly energy sources, photonics and biosensors.
Centre for Reproductive Science
The Centre for Reproductive Science is a multi-disciplinary hub advancing reproductive science to address complex challenges in human and animal fertility. We unite researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, and industry partners to develop innovative solutions, improve fertility outcomes, safeguard biodiversity, and train the next generation under a One Health vision.
Global Centre for Environmental Remediation
The Global Centre for Environmental Remediation (GCER) aims to safeguard people's social, economic and physical health and wellbeing by developing innovative, cost-effective and sustainable technologies and solutions that reduce the impact of pollutants on the environment.
Global Innovative Centre for Advanced Nanomaterials
Innovation in materials science and research to develop advanced technologies and solutions for the global energy, environment and health sectors.
Medical Technology Research Centre
