Celebrating the distinct and diverse research of CDU

CDU is an exciting and progressive research-intensive university that prioritises the complex issues facing Northern Australia and the Asia-Pacific. 

We’ve had breakthroughs in the areas of malaria treatment, technologies to improve health in remote communities, preserving Indigenous languages, accelerating STEM education using technology, and many others.

The distinctive characteristics of our Northern region present our researchers and research students with unique experiences and opportunities. Research Week at CDU highlights their world-class research.

Explore the full program of events below to discover the exciting research conducted at CDU and the value it brings to our community and the world.
