Facilities
Our facilities range from world class agricultural precincts to state-of-the-art laboratories and collaboration spaces.
How we work
We work in partnership with industry, business, government and not-for-profit organisations to answer research questions. Where possible, we also seek to translate research innovations into new products, including through licensing or collaborative development.
Successful collaborations are built from understanding end-user requirements, the environment and commercial imperatives and by focusing on outcomes. Research partnerships with Charles Sturt can provide access to discipline expertise, key networks, resources and facilities.
