The University of Queensland Research and Innovation Awards for Excellence are a suite of awards recognising outstanding research achievements across the following categories:
UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award
The University of Queensland Foundation Research Excellence Awards (UQ FREA) celebrates the exceptional research achievements and leadership potential of individual early and mid-career researchers (EMCRs). By recognising and supporting EMCRs this prestigious award aims to foster their development as research leaders, accelerating their career development and enabling them to make a sustained impact in their disciplines.
UQ Awards for Excellence in Graduate Research Training
The University of Queensland is committed to recognising and rewarding outstanding performance in the supervising, mentoring, and training of HDR candidates. The UQ Awards for Excellence in Graduate Research Training provide an opportunity to publicly celebrate the achievements and initiatives of our academic and professional colleagues who enable our HDR candidates to achieve their highest potential.
At UQ we take pride in our excellence in research with a tradition of outstanding graduates. This is a tribute to our staff in their support of our HDR candidates and their guidance in supervision.
UQ also celebrates the diversity of its research community and recognises those who have facilitated greater collaboration with industry as well as those who continue to demonstrate effective and inspirational graduate leadership and the development of research programs and support.
Congratulations to the winners recognised at the UQ Research and Innovation Awards for Excellence ceremony on 1 October 2024.
We were thrilled to celebrate research impact and acknowledge the remarkable potential of our researchers across various categories, including early career researchers, research supervision, leadership, and industry engagement.
