Research has changed our lives in many ways – from ground-breaking medical treatments to making our workplaces safer. It begins with the spark of an idea, and its impact is felt across economic, social, cultural, health, environment, and policy factors. In this episode, our executive team discuss why research is crucial to building new knowledge, revolutionising practices, and aiding progression. You’ll find out about the distinctive approach Torrens University Australia applies to research, and how its researchers are working towards solving the mounting challenges of our time.

The smart phones in our pockets have more computing power than NASA used during the Apollo mission to get to the moon. So, how did we get light years ahead of NASA computers is such a short time? The answer is: research. Nothing has shaped modern life more than research. Everything from the personal computer at your fingertips to the anaesthetic your dentist gives you to stop excruciating pain has been ushered in by major research breakthroughs. In this 9-part series, you’ll meet outcome-focussed researchers from Torrens University Australia, who are working to solve complex global problems and to propel innovation. We’ll take you behind the curtain to hear what drives their passion, and the impact their work has on all of us.
