The Supercity Nansha project aims to explore and highlight the important role architecture can play in the context of sustainability and liveable spaces.
The Economic and Social Impacts of Mining in Madagascar
This research is concerned with the impacts of Large-Scale Mining (LSM) in Madagascar.
Sustainable water management system
RMIT has developed an alternative water desalination and irrigation system that is simple, compact and produces no greenhouse emissions.
Biosolids to Biochar: An Innovative Solution to Biosolids Management
This project aims to help address the pressing issue of biosolid management in contemporary waste water treatment by developing a disruptive pyrolysis Technology.
Self-training program for nascent entrepreneurs
This project aims to develop a self-training program that assists nascent entrepreneurs in Vietnam in improving their negotiation skills in business.
Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET)
FLEET aims to reduce the energy used by information technology by realising new types of electronic conduction without resistance in solid-state systems at room temperature.
Aquatic Pollution Prevention Partnership
This research partnership between Melbourne Water and RMIT is to undertake dedicated, timely and relevant research to identify and manage pollutants in waterways and bays.
Comprehensive community profiles for informal settlements
RMIT University is generating comprehensive community profiles though site visits, household and settlement surveys; complemented by different geospatial datasets.
Greenhouse and Sustainability Program
