At Edith Cowan University, we’re building our reputation on our impact rather than our age. Our progressive nature drives our thirst for knowledge and desire for creating meaningful change in the world.
Our research work focuses on four themes that recognise both our collective expertise and our progressive view of the world.
Prevention, detection and management of disease and injury.
Understanding, harnessing, building and protecting environments for sustaining people, place and planet.
Enabling a safe, secure, productive and enterprising digital environment.
Impacting and supporting social change through ensuring diversity, creativity, cultural identity, education, personal and organisational success and social.
Our world-class research transcends medical practice, driving health outcomes and quality of life. It leverages our unique geographical location, tying the natural environment to the built. It's also at the forefront of shaping our digital future, addressing the challenges of the digital revolution. And it shapes the culturally-rich society we live in today, informing and protecting communities.
