Research co-design masterclass

Many of society’s most pressing challenges are complex and multi-faceted, such as global pandemics, climate and biodiversity disasters, the tensions caused by socio-economic inequalities, and the risks posed by emerging technologies.

Being able to successfully address these complex challenges requires research that is co-designed with a diverse range of participants to help ensure impact is considered throughout the process, and not just applied or translated afterwards.

Join us in a masterclass panel discussion with Hugh Possingham, Laurie Buys, Andrew 'Alf' Garnett, and Cristyn Meath as we explore the why, what, and how of co-designing high-impact research at scale to address complex challenges.

The event is hosted by the Research Impact Nexus at the Global Change Institute and will be facilitated by Dr Crighton Nichols.

• UQ executives
• Industry/government partners
