CSU is committed to excellence in research, identifying and supporting areas and projects which allow for the undertaking of internationally competitive research and research training.
The University invests its resources in areas of proven and potential strength, significant to the University's mission. Such areas provide particular depth of academic and research capability to offer quality research and research training opportunities to staff, students and communities, including partners in industry, the professions and the communities of inland Australia.
In recognising the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of issues confronting society, the University is committed to supporting collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
In line with this approach, CSU has established eight research centres: three Centres of Research Excellence; four Strategic Research Centres and; one Affiliated Research Centre. The centres have advisory or management committees with industry or international expert membership. Most Centres draw on membership across Faculties and provide support for higher degree research students through seminars and workshops. Portfolios of research and consulting amount to approximately AU$10 million annually.
