Sydney Nano Networks
Innovation through connected expertise and capabilities
Sydney Nano networks connects multi-disciplinary expertise and capabilities across the University, to create solutions for major societal, economic and scientific challenges.
Sydney Nano networks form integrated large-scale research focus areas achieving transformational research outcomes and global impact over the long-term.
Aligned with wider-University strategies, our networks aim to address international and national research priorities, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Australian Research Priorities.
Networks activate and utilise academic and professional expertise and capability across the whole University, creating new synergies and innovation by breaking down traditional boundaries.
Our Sydney Nano networks:
- are vehicles for break-through discoveries through multi and interdisciplinary expertise
- build a platform for the creation of intellectual property and commercialisation
- act as an entrance point and engagement opportunity for industry
- provide expert advice for government departments, policy maker, regulator or other critical authority
- educate students
- inform the general public.
