Collaborative Research
QUT believes its success lies in meeting the real-world needs of students, industry and the community through research and research training that is collaborative, multidisciplinary and purpose driven.
One of the best examples of this approach in action is the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI). The Institute draws on the strengths of the Health, Built Environment and Engineering and Science Faculties.
The Faculty of Health also has a number of other collaborative Research Centres:
- Centre for Accident Research & Road Safety - Queensland (CARRS-Q)
- Centre for Palliative Care Research and Education (CPCRE)
- National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH)
Research collaborations which involve commercialisation of QUT intellectual property, technology transfer or other QUT intellectual property transactions are managed by qutbluebox, the commercialisation company for QUT.

Real-World Research
The Faculty of Health conducts research through a number of research facilities devoted to research relevant to industry, the community and populations around the world.
QUT is all about solving real-world problems, which is why the University has increased the number and value of collaborative research projects funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage project.
QUT ranks in the top 10 universities nationally for funding through this scheme and is involved in a number of large-scale research activities.
