Research can be a slow burn, it takes time, and the impact and benefits from research won’t always be realised straight away. 

UTS is committed to knowledge exchange and encouraging research collaboration between the university, industry and broader society. But what makes research collaboration effective? And what are the benefits and barriers to collaboration? 

The journey to creating research with impact starts with engagement. And the key to beginning any research journey is to seek to listen and work with those who want, need and will use your research. But what’s the best way to go about this? 

In this episode of Research Impact: UTS Case Studies, you’ll hear about technology that changes the way we detect traces of criminals at crime scenes, discover how robots are revolutionising the Sydney Harbour Bridge and learn about UTS research that’s providing safe drinking water to hundreds of children in Vietnam. 

Research can change lives, solve real world problems and inform us. But how do we as researchers make sure we’re doing research with impact, that has an effect beyond the academy? 

Now more than ever we need to rethink what research we do, how it’s done and the impact we want it to have. The University of Technology Sydney is filled with award winning engaged and impactful research that’s making a huge difference in the world.
