Research

Research is the driving force of our school. We are here because we want to discover more about our planet and people.

SEGS is proud that its focus on high standards in research have resulted in four Research Centres within the school. High-calibre staff and world-quality research attract grants, industry funding and international expertise to address the critical issues facing Australia and the world today. Visit our Research Centres.

Research groups are formed when people with overlapping interests cooperate to pool resources and expertise. The results of cooperation can be seen in higher standards of academic discourse and in cross-disciplinary research. Visiting our research groups and the areas of study below will show the breadth of topics being investigated in SEGS today.
