Macquarie has an ambition to be one of Australia’s, and one of the world’s, great research universities, bringing the best minds together and enabling them to conduct cutting-edge research across disciplines. Our international reputation is built upon the excellence of the research undertaken by our highly committed and talented researchers across a broad spectrum of research activity.
The Macquarie University Research Excellence Awards recognise and reward our staff and higher degree research candidates for outstanding performance and excellence in research and innovation. The 2015 Research Excellence Awards will showcase the University’s Strategic Research Framework (2015 – 2025) and is one of many initiatives working towards bringing life to our ten-year research framework.
“We are very excited to align our Research Excellence Awards with the Strategic Research Framework (2015 – 2024),” said Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Sakkie Pretorius. “We are committed to celebrating research across the range of disciplines at Macquarie and feel this shift in alignment will better capture areas of research strength and productivity.”
Professor Pretorius adds, “By aligning the Research Excellence Awards with the five future-shaping research priorities we are creating more awards that will enable us to celebrate even more areas of research excellence across the University.”
