Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research)

The mission of the University of Adelaide is to be recognised internationally as a great research university and an Australian leader in research and teaching excellence, committed to the positive impact we can have on the lives of our students, staff and alumni as well as the local, national and international communities.

The further enhancement of our research quality and productivity remains a central objective, as befits a research-intensive institution.  While basic and individual research remains vital to our research effort, we are continuing to strengthen the impact of our research by further developing the links between our researchers, government, industry and the wider community. We are continuing to improve our research performance by investing in excellence, and by exploring new, innovative ways of collaborating that will ensure we generate high quality research outcomes closely aligned to state, national and international research priorities.  Our research performance contributes to an outstanding research training environment, producing highly skilled graduates who will be future leaders in their chosen field.

The University is actively supporting the development of world-class research in an increasingly competitive environment, both nationally and internationally.  The quality of the our research and research training is an essential component of the overall success of the University of Adelaide.
