Changes to privacy legislation will soon be imposing stricter breach reporting obligations on the University, making it important that you know what to do if you suspect a data breach has occurred.

If you suspect that personal or health information held by the University has been incorrectly shared or accessed, you must report it to the Privacy team as soon as you become aware of it. Read more

 

Research Missions and Impact booklet

We have designed our Research Missions and Impact booklet to try and capture the depth and breadth of our researchers, their research and highlight the impact we are making now and into the future.

The booklet is divided into four missions, reflecting our commitment to discovery research and real-world impact – locally and globally:

1. Expanding the frontiers of science

2. Improving health and wellbeing

3. Enabling a sustainable and resilient world

4. Innovating for tomorrow’s industries

Our research is constantly evolving and expanding, so we know that we have not captured everything we do in our booklet. Our plan is to continue revising and updating it at regular intervals to incorporate more of our ground-breaking research from across our faculty's schools.
