ECU's research is characterised by its fundamental commitment to the pathway from basic research to translation to innovative implementation (including practice, service delivery, and industry adoption).
ECU's commitment to this research pathway is reflected in its cross-cutting approach to research across each of its research themes and priority areas. These cross-cutting approaches are:
Our research on the prevention, detection and management of disease and injury transcends medical practice, driving health outcomes and quality of life at a global scale.
Our research leverages Western Australia’s distinctive geography to understand, harness, build and protect environments for sustaining people, place and planet.
In no other field is change occurring more rapidly than it is in the digital domain. It is impacting every aspect of human existence at an exponential pace and so it’s absolutely vital that we closely examine those impacts.
Australia as a progressive and diverse nation is facing societal change on a national and global scale. Research at ECU will guide this progress.
