A Conversation about Research Collaborations

Research increasingly involves collaboration within and between Universities and with other organisations. Collaboration enables research by offering expertise and/or resources not otherwise available. 

The UQ 2022 Plan on a Page outlines the following priorities that are facilitated by research collaboration: 

• Develop a UQ Research Roadmap, with a supporting Research Partnerships and Translation Strategy, which is responsive to government priorities and leverages UQ’s areas of strength. 

• Grow HDR participation in career development and research experiences, including industry placements and internships with key partners. 

• Create Industry Professor roles to support education, research translation and deeper connections with industry. 

Moderated by the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences (HaBS) Associate Dean Research, Prof Greg Monteith, this is a panel conversation, with those experienced in the research collaboration space, about how can met those priorities, build collaborative teams, strategic partnerships, industry relationships, the opportunities, challenges, and the future.
