Networks in Place
 |
The University will be at the forefront of a new approach to research with the announcement of a $4.85 million for three Research Network Projects.
As part of the Australian Research Council's (ARC) $42 million Research Networks program, UQ researchers will lead three of the 24 networks aimed at bringing leading researchers together.
Professor Maria Orlowska, from the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, will be the convenor for the $1.6 million ARC Research Network
in Enterprise Information Infrastructure.
Professor Bob Stimson, from UQ's Centre for Research into Sustainable Urban and Regional Futures (CR-SURF), in the School of Geography, Planning and Architecture, will be the convenor of the $1.5 million ARC Research Network in Spatially Integrated Social Science (SISS).
Professor Graeme Turner, from UQ's Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, will lead the $1.75 million Cultural Research Network.
UQ researchers will participate widely across the nation's successful research networks and play an important role in the new initiatives.
The new research networks will build connections between people, disciplines, organisations and countries, bringing together more than 3400 participants from Australia and overseas.
