At Australian Catholic University, we believe research should create real impact-not just in theory, but in the world around us. That's why we're inviting industry, government, NGOs, and community organisations to collaborate with our research candidates to bridge the gap between academia and real-world application. Together, we can turn collaborative research into lasting impact.
PhD candidates work on the frontier of knowledge. Collaborating with them provides exposure to cutting-edge research, emerging technologies, and novel methodologies that can drive competitive advantage.
Engaging with PhD candidates allows organisations to identify and nurture high-caliber talent who are trained in critical thinking, problem-solving, and advanced technical skills-ideal for future recruitment.
Industry-sponsored research through PhD projects is often more cost-effective than in-house R&D, especially when supported by government grants or university partnerships.
PhD candidates benefit from applying their research to practical challenges, while industry gains solutions tailored to their specific needs-bridging the gap between academia and application.
