Engagement
As a leading University in Australia for collaborating with the profession, we believe in the value that different perspectives can bring. Together with researchers, other institutions and partners in the region and around the world, we are making a difference to education.
Regional Engagement
We are committed to making a difference in the local communities we serve, as well as in other regions around Australia. While our research is both nationally and globally significant, we’re also focused on making a real difference to the lives of local students and families.
International Engagement
Our research pillars are an important part of a hub of international networks collaborating and learning from each other.
If you are an international scholar interested in visiting or collaborating in research that matches with our priorities, please reach out to our academic staff or find and contact a researcher below who are aligned to one of the four research pillars.
