Griffith is home to world-class research centres and facilities
As a values-based university with local and global impact, Griffith seeks to contribute to the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all academic, operational and engagement activities.
Our experts work in research centres developing new knowledge across a range of specialist areas including medicine and healthcare, emerging technologies, social innovations, culture, learning and the arts, the environment, and governance and policy development.
Most of these institutes and centres align with our four academic groups, with their cutting-edge research helping to inform our degrees, allowing students to gain the latest knowledge and learn alongside people making history in a wide range of research fields.
Many of these centres and institutes promote environmental sustainability through research, higher degree research supervision, teaching, short courses, partnerships, and community engagement.
