UTS is committed to knowledge exchange and encouraging research collaboration between the university, industry and broader society. But what makes research collaboration effective? And what are the benefits and barriers to collaboration?
In this episode of Research Impact: UTS Case Studies, hear how groundbreaking research developed in partnership with industry is being used to reduce shark attacks in our oceans. Professor Michael Blumenstein, the Associate Dean (Research Strategy and Management) in the Faculty of Engineering & IT, and Dr Paul Scully-Power, Australia’s first astronaut and co-founder of the Ripper Group, share the collaborative success of the SharkSpotter drone technology that is saving lives on Australian beaches.
From partnerships on our shores to long term collaboration overseas, Michele Rumsey, Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Development, discusses how her international research partnership with government, health and community groups in Papua New Guinea is transforming maternal and child health outcomes.
