How we operate

Operating as a collaborative hub, our members can engage across our networks through research and development, consulting, education, training and advocacy.

We find research-driven, evidence-based solutions to create the liveable smart green cities for the future through:

  • Innovative research. We develop transformative and agile research to meet the dynamic needs of our external partners and beyond.
  • Research partnerships. We facilitate collaborative partnerships to deliver solutions for social, environmental and economic impact
  • Capacity building. We provide opportunities to develop networks, knowledge and skills to maximise impact and increase commercialisation opportunities.

The Centre developed a tour showcasing Macquarie’s state-of-the-art facilities. This allows our external partners (industry, government and investors) to experience first hand some of the innovative technologies being developed on campus.

The trail provides a deeper understanding of the breadth of our experience, helps forge broader relationships and initiates new research projects in the area of Smart Green Cities.
