From trauma-aware teaching in Thai classrooms to rare disease breakthroughs, climate-resilient urban design to advancing Indigenous Data Sovereignty, VU continues to lead research driving positive change for people, place and planet.
This year's Research Annual Report highlights the depth and diversity of our work. As well as a strong national focus, 2024 presented many international research opportunities. Of note was the international report card on childcare access from VU's Mitchell Institute.
"Research is not just valuable - it's vital. It drives our ability to question, innovate, connect, and ultimately, solve. At VU, we are not only responding to the world as it is-we are helping to shape a future that is more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient," Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Impact, Professor Andy Hill said.
With more than 300 researchers across VU's six Victorian campuses, VU Research generated more than $18 million in income, produced 770 publications and co-authored 457 publications with researchers in 94 countries.
As we look to the future, we do so with a clear understanding of the challenges facing universities and the impact of global disruption. Staying agile and impactful has never been more important."
