At ºÚÁÏÍø, we have an ambitious Research Strategy which aims to make research central to our mission as a university. We believe that a diverse range of researchers produces the best research and our commitment to research is integral to our aim to develop our students as critical thinkers.
As a university committed to the public good, we have a track record of research that impacts society and makes a real difference to people’s lives through improvements to health and well-being, infrastructure, creativity, economic growth, business and civil society.
ºÚÁÏÍø is the lead university for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and was appointed in 2025 for a three-year term.
The university works with the U.N. as the chair of SDG 11 with three other universities, who lead as vice-chairs on teaching and education; outreach and partnership; and research.
