Partnering for impact

We build strategic partnerships with industry, communities, universities and research institutes around the world.

Global collaboration on research is critical if we are going to solve the world's greatest challenges and improve and save lives.

International collaboration (view our principles - pdf, 216KB) also creates leadership opportunities through research, teaching and international experiences. We strongly encourage our staff and students to engage with international partners in line with all relevant Australian laws and government guidelines, and with the University's objectives, values and policies.
