Overview
"It is an exciting time to be an ECU researcher or a partner in ECU research"
Professor John Finlay-Jones Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research
Research at ECU is growing strongly, led by successful strategies to develop a vibrant research culture which aligns with and informs our learning and teaching activities. These strategies include concentrating research in areas of strength and excellence; engaging widely with local, national and international institutions, industry and community partners, and all levels of government; establishing and partnering in research centres; appointing researchers who are leaders in their fields; and commercialising applied outcomes. It is an exciting time to be an ECU researcher or a partner in ECU research. The University's approach to its research is differentiated, targeted and welcoming of quality collaborative partners.
