This Research Engagement & Enterprise Plan builds on UNE’s strengths, while also looking over the horizon at new ways of doing things. In so doing, we position ourselves to deal with large external drivers, both in how we manage risk, and also to inform where we put our research effort to have the biggest impact.

We would be delighted to hear from you if you would like to help facilitate the implementation of the University of New England's Research Enterprise and Engagement Plan. For this program to be successful, your participation and suggestions are essential.
