"The University of Melbourne is Australia’s leading research-intensive university and a trusted global partner for government, industry and the community. Our new research strategy builds on the University’s research strengths over many decades.

With over 100 research centres across nine faculties, and innovation precincts including Southbank Arts Precinct, Melbourne Connect and Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, we collaborate to translate our interdisciplinary research into enduring real-world impact.

Our researchers are continuing to expand the boundaries of knowledge for the benefit of society, from using genomics to transform our national standard of cancer care to preserving Indigenous cultural materials and heritage."
