Each of our current research strengths have been determined by the significant numbers of:

  • identified major research centres and facilities including CoEs, CRCs, ARC Special Research Centres, ARC Key Centres and MNRFs.
  • staff with recognised international standing such as Federation Fellows and Fellows of Learned Academic Academies and Societies.
