Outstanding research is a critical foundation of an innovative and prosperous modern society. In 2018, UWA launched the Research Impact Series to celebrate the impact UWA research has had within our community. At UWA our world-leading researchers tackle global, national and regional issues to make the world a better place.
UWA research continues to strive to achieve the world best in all areas. In 2018, UWA maintained a top 100 ranked position in the ARWU (93rd), QS (91st) and US N&W (81st) ranking systems – an achievement made possible by the strength, quality and diversity of research undertaken by UWA academics.
Below are some of UWA's research highlights of 2018. I look forward to the achievements to come in 2019.
