The Faculty of Science 2026–2028 Strategic Plan, outlines six strategic goals to advance education, research, partnerships and national leadership across all of its science disciplines.
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.
Please visit the Faculty's Committees intranet page to see bulletins of the most recent and previous Faculty Leadership Group (comprising: Dean's Executive Committee, Faculty Board, Work, Health & Safety Committee, and Indigenous Strategy & Services and Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Committee) meetings.
