A focus on research of an international quality and the fostering of an outstanding research culture have positioned UWA as one of the best universities in Australia and in the top 150 in the world.
Research at UWA is overseen and governed by several committees, each with an individual focus on specific issues.
The Research Committee advises, makes recommendations and provides information to the Academic Council on various research matters.
The Animal Ethics Committee oversees the care of animals that are to be used for scientific purposes at UWA.
