The strategy has five key ambitions:<\/p>\n

To be internationally recognised for the high quality of our research <\/strong>through prestigious partnerships that advance knowledge and understanding on an international stage.<\/p>\n

To conduct research that makes a difference in economic, environmental, social and cultural terms, and underpins a compelling track record for innovation and knowledge exchange <\/strong>through delivering impact that positively influences non-academic stakeholders from the private, public and third sectors, as well as the general public.<\/p>\n

To build a collaborative research community, environment and culture of the highest quality <\/strong>through equipping our critical mass of researchers with the skills, opportunities and environment to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, and research-led teaching.<\/p>\n

To be an intellectual community defined by research <\/strong>through scholarship and enquiry that are central to the education we offer and the way we offer it.<\/p>\n

To place the long term sustainability for our research excellence <\/strong>at the heart of our institutional purpose<\/strong> through ensuring that it is founded on critical mass, high cost recovery, and enabling infrastructure.<\/p>\n
