How we are enabling impact
Impact is a vital area of focus for ANU. We strive to identify and pursue opportunities for our research, development and demonstration activities to have broad impact for government, industry and civil society.
At ANU, we are fortunate to house international experts who influence policies, create world-changing inventions,and lead projects that directly make the world a better place.
There are multiple ways impact happens – whether through commercialisation of technology and knowledge, or professional learning activities disseminating the latest research to industry and government.
Our aim is to achieve tangible outcomes that benefit our community, Australia and the world.
