Welcome to the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Strategic Research Plan renewal webpage. Here you will find an overview of the planning process, engagement events and opportunities, and links to important documents and resources.
What is a Strategic Research Plan?
±«±·µþ°ä’s Strategic Research Plan sets out a collective vision and plan for research and innovation for 2025-2030 and beyond. The plan serves as a roadmap, setting out our goals and priority areas over the coming five years.
What currently exists?
±«±·µþ°ä’s current Strategic Research Plan can be found here. Our current plan is in place to the end of 2024. A draft summary of key outcomes from our previous Strategic Research Plan can be found here.
Planning process
ÂÜÀòÉäÇø is a vibrant research-intensive university with research and innovation activities that span diverse disciplines and sectors. This renewal is occurring alongside the renewal of the ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Academic Plan, and both are carried to build upon the overall ÂÜÀòÉäÇø Strategic Plan, READY.
In preparing this renewed strategy, our team are committed to undertaking broad consultation with ÂÜÀòÉäÇø community members and partners through engagement sessions, interviews, focus groups, surveys, and more. This webpage will include details of our planning activities to date, important dates and events, and links to resources and documents.
We recognize that multiple engagement processes are taking place concurrently. Where possible, we have worked with other planning teams to avoid overlap and to collaborate where possible.
