Research partnerships

Working with other research organisations, businesses, governments, community groups, and not-for-profit organisations, our researchers investigate complex issues, build evidence and translate research into impactful action.

Interdisciplinary collaboration

To find and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing problems, the University’s institutes bring together researchers from various disciplines with policymakers and industry and community practitioners and stakeholders.

The Faculty of Science hosts six institutes:

Partner programs

Our Faculty simultaneously collaborates with hundreds of partners on projects of every scale, including discovery research, knowledge and technology transfer, technical advice and services, and training. Below are just a few examples of our large, long-term partnership programs.
