Research and Innovation Week
Research and Innovation week
13 – 17 September 2021
Research and Innovation Week celebrates the incredible research, researchers and partnerships within UQ and throughout our diverse community.
Research and Innovation Week aims to raise awareness of UQ researchers across key stakeholders, including staff, current and prospective students, graduates, industry, government, media and the wider community.
Through our five research impact themes, UQ connects people and capabilities from across the university to develop solutions to major global challenges.
Building Better Bioeconomies
By building more environmentally sustainable, economically viable and community-supported biological production systems, UQ research is delivering bioeconomic impacts through partnerships with industry, government and the community.
Achieving Resilient Environments and Livelihoods
Combating ecosystem change is essential to secure our environment and promote inclusive and sustainable livelihoods. Through changing technologies, economies and behaviours, UQ research is building a more sustainable future.
Designing Technology for Tomorrow
Secure systems, clean energy and advanced manufacturing all require technology innovation. UQ experts are partnering with industry leaders to design technology solutions for tomorrow.
Transforming Societies
A peaceful and inclusive future demands justice and equality for all. Most of all, it requires us to give all children a great start through quality education and an end to poverty. UQ researchers are driving social change and informing policy agendas that support future generations.
Leading Healthy Lives
Health and safety are fundamental rights. UQ’s medical and allied health research is developing solutions to promote wellbeing for us all, at all ages across the globe.
