Our projects are developed in partnership with organisations working in areas that are central to ACU’s mission and ethos as a Catholic university. These organisations identify an issue, question or need for themselves or their sector and partner with the SESU on a research project to work toward a resolution. 

All projects are expected to support work in the core areas of ACU’s mission, to produce positive impacts for communities experiencing disadvantage or advance the Catholic tradition.

We understand there are various levels at which needs arise. Every organisation has specific priorities for its clients, programs and services. For this reason, our researchers work on two kinds of projects and produce high-quality outputs that reflect the nature of the project.
