Thematic priorities

UNE is dedicated to identifying and delivering innovations of value to society and industry, in Australia and internationally, with a particular emphasis on inter-disciplinary research. We seek solutions to complex problems in rural and regional Australia. Our research involves interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations and is underpinned by five thematic research priorities:

Australia's future food and water security: smart science, smart technology
Climate change and environmental sustainability: protecting biodiversity, effective policies
Health and wellbeing in rural communities: social exclusion, health inequity, mental health, social policy
Our communities, our neighbours: regional and rural development, sustainability, prosperity and peace
Our past, present and future: Australia's history, memory, identity, protection and promotion of cultural heritage.

Give To UNE Research Today

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
