Research impact

Through research and innovation, we create new knowledge and apply it to benefit and better understand our world.

Our research influences policy and legislation, delivers technical solutions, contributes to healthier communities, informs new products and services and optimises processes and ways of working. These economic, environmental, cultural, societal, health and policy impacts are what drives our research. We work together with our government, business and community partners to tackle complex challenges and develop new technologies, systems, ventures and networks. Our collaborative approach also opens new opportunities to innovate and develop new understandings across research disciplines, which in turn opens up whole new possibilities.
