Changing local and global communities

Our commitment to change is outlined in our strategy and our cross cutting themes. We co-create our research objectives and approaches with the research community and our wider partners. We promote openness, inclusivity, collaboration and respect for forms of knowledge.

Our network of partners and stakeholders allow us to move knowledge from its point of creation to its point of use and value.

We see the research community as researchers, participants, partners, funders, academic and professional support colleagues, students, technicians, external partners and collaborators. We are change makers and transformation catalysts – connecting ideas and solutions to application and exploration.

Our areas of focus

Making an impact

Impact that transforms society can only be understood from the perspective of those who stand to benefit from the research the most. Creating impact changes discourse, thinking, policy or practice.
