Research Events
Research translation and impact case studies in HASS and public health
Date: Thursday 1 April
Time: 12pm - 1pm
Professor Robyn Sloggett, Penny Tripp, and Dr. Anita D’Aprano will provide insights into their research and demonstrate what is both required and possible when it comes to research translation and impact.
The session is specifically for researchers in HASS (which includes education, policy, arts, FBE), Architecture Building and Planning and some health sectors. It will also cover the role IP plays in research translation, how you can maximise the broader social and economic success of your research, and tips and guidelines on how to safeguard your intellectual property.
- What research translation & impact means specifically for HASS
- Case study interviews of successful research translation & impact stories
- Important specific IP principles to be aware of
- How to engage with UoM’s business development and innovation team to help you
The webinar will be hosted by Shereen Tan. Shereen holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and was previously a Research Fellow focusing on translational research.
Introduction to R and Reproducible Research

MGSE Research Forums 2021
Reimagining Research Futures @ MGSE
Date: Thursday 22 April
Time: 11am – 12.30pm
In 2021, we are planning to conduct a series of four research forums that bring together MGSE academics to consider new and emerging research agendas that address the pressing issues for education. There is currently a breadth of research activity at MGSE that is high quality, innovative and translational. The forum discussions are not designed to replace current research or identify priority areas for research, but rather to discuss new possibilities in reimagining research futures at MGSE.
The question to be discussed at the first forum is:
What are the new emerging research agendas that MGSE needs to be responding to?
There are many different answers to this question. To prompt discussions the format of the first forum will be as follows:
- A panel of four academics will present a five-minute provocation around new emerging research agendas.
- Julie McLeod will provide a ten-minute response
- Breakout groups to discuss emerging research agendas (30 minutes)
- Bring everyone together and discuss (30 minutes).
