DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Griffith Institute for Educational Research. Our institute has one of the largest concentrations of university-based education researchers in the country. We comprise a vibrant community of researchers and research candidates and our applied research which we undertake with industry partners, education systems, schools, community and not-for-profit organisations is readily translated into practice. We invite your collaboration in discovering how new knowledge about learning can address important issues facing Queensland, Australia and the world.

In seeking to create new knowledge for learning, our institute has identified key research foci that include, but are not limited to, leadership, living with autism, and professional and practice-based learning. These research and development projects are led by esteemed senior researchers who are theoretically strong, and practically astute. Our involvement with education in a range of contexts, including schools and workplaces, is broad and often addresses issues that are prevalent in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities and multidisciplinary workplaces.

I encourage you to explore our website further to read more about our researchers and research, and the projects they are undertaking to improve the world we live in through developing education. Come and join us.
