How we develop research expertise and innovation

Research expertise and innovation is a key component in our Researcher Capability Framework.

Our researchers lead high-quality projects that combine creativity, professionalism and entrepreneurial thinking. This expertise drives innovation across the university and aligns with national research priorities.

We support our researchers to:

  • Integrate creative, professional and entrepreneurial strategies into research design and implementation
  • Think creatively and develop solutions that push the boundaries of existing knowledge to address global challenges
  • Design and execute experimental and observational studies with rigor and reliability
  • Engage with collaborative platforms and emerging technologies responsibly and effectively.
