People power –how you can help

A critical role of the University is to help convene the societal debate, and develop solutions to the problems we are facing. It’s no use researchers spending time and effort if they are developing irrelevant solutions or develop potentially useful solutions that then sit on the laboratory shelf and are not adopted.

Regional groups have the capacity to develop locally applied solutions that can ultimately overcome global challenges. Using this ethos, the Environment Institute works with local communities and partners to develop solutions and has helped support a new mode of community engagement over the past year through the Dynamic State initiative (dynamicstate.com.au).

By bringing together a diverse range of scientists, artists and entrepreneurs, as well as community and local government leaders, we have developed a framework to tackle global issues.

Members of the Environment Institute are passionate, bold and interdisciplinary.

Why not get in touch with a research idea, collaboration or if you’d like to help us by volunteering your time and skills. We value creativity and a healthy attitude toward balancing life and work. We strive for diversity and aim to create a positive work environment that fosters the personal and professional development of our team.
