Biennial Report 2009/10
During 2009 and 2010 the Institute's research focus has concentrated on specific research areas - known as Strategic Research Areas (SRAs). These research areas are issue focused, team-based, interdisciplinary, underpinned by disciplinary excellence, and output and outcome orientated. The activities and research of the SRA's are featured in this report, along with summaries of some of the completed and current research projects.
More details on our projects can be found at the Research Projects page
Biennial Report 2007/08
This report features the highlights and achievements of the Institute in 2007/08. Included in the report are details of completed and current projects and a feature on the three broad integrated research themes which were identified as the focus of multi and inter disciplinary research within ILWS. Each of these themes address critical issues facing the regions where CSU operates; has the potential to make a major contribution to knowledge, policy and community well-being; draws on ILWS research expertise; and enhances the quality of teaching at CSU. The themes are:
Demographic change in rural Australia
Sustainable management of environmental assets
Vibrant rural and regional communities
