University research has the power to change lives,
improve communities and strengthen our economy.
Each year, Universities Australia calls on researchers to pitch their brightest ideas for the chance
to get it in front of many eyes and win a range of prizes.
We’re ready for the next generation of early-career researchers to challenge themselves and
tell the story of their research and its impact.
