Research with impact

At UOW we’re transforming the way we do research.

Now in its fourth year, our challenge-led interdisciplinary research program is all about the people and the projects.

We nurture projects, collaborating with industry, government, institutions and other universities to foster a supportive research community to drive social, economic and cultural change.

With 350 researchers collaborating on more than 95 interdisciplinary projects we're approaching global issues in a myriad of ways. With the aim of transforming lives and regions, we take a global view by tackling challenges paramount to our local region but with the potential to make a difference on a larger scale.
