A message from Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Enterprise) Professor Abid Khan:
As we rush towards the middle of 2024, it's important to acknowledge the continued hard work, excellence and impact of our academic and professional community and the way it remains focussed on delivering all facets of the university's mission and strategic objectives. Colleagues are actively pursuing the multifactorial aspects of research and, while continuing to produce the highest quality publication outputs, are pushing up our HDR loads and increasing the forms of engagement ACU has with the external stakeholder community. Positively, this has resulted in growth in research income across the university, demonstrating the value of the partnerships the university's community is building at all levels of government, industry and philanthropy in supporting our research both locally and globally.
I am pleased to highlight just some of the recent successes across our faculties.
Our outreach in the Asia-Pacific region will be critical to growing and sustaining our global research and education strategies over the next decade, both through collaborations with partners in the region and collaboration with global stakeholders that recognise our region's opportunities and challenges.
My colleagues and I have recently returned from Indonesia, where we explored opportunities for closer research collaboration with our largest neighbour. We received very positive responses from government agencies and advisors, and Catholic and non-Catholic universities, about multi-tiered engagements in child wellbeing and nutrition, Indigenous-led research, and religion and theology, all areas of priority for the incoming Indonesian president. Alongside this, we also discussed opportunities for all our faculties in helping build research and workforce capacity in Indonesia's academic, industrial and government organisations.
Our Graduate Research School is central to these bilateral engagements with Indonesia and with India following an earlier delegation led by the Vice-Chancellor. We are developing a model of flexible, offshore and onshore engagement, with a range of joint PhD and co-supervision models to upskill in critical workforce areas across our region. This will help us build long term relationships on areas of bilateral need, continuing to build on the university's innovative capabilities while further supporting our mission objectives.
