How we develop research leadership and reputation

Research leadership and reputation is a key component in our Researcher Capability Framework.

Our researchers lead teams and projects, produce original and high-quality traditional and non-traditional outputs, and build strong research profiles that enhance reputation and impact.

We support our researchers to:

  • Lead teams and supervise research candidates effectively while fostering a respectful, ethical research environment
  • Promote and maintain a strong research profile on platforms like ORCID, ResearchGate and Scopus
  • Contribute to the research community through peer review and leadership roles
  • Sustain a visible national and international research presence.
