Research institutes

At Charles Sturt, we are committed to creating new knowledge that can be applied for the betterment of our communities - both global and local.​

A Research Institute is a multi-disciplinary entity aimed at stimulating research activity and providing critical mass around a research theme of national/international importance deliberately linked to fields of education that transcend Faculty and School boundaries.

Research Institutes provide a platform for external collaboration, partnership building and engagement, champion research excellence and research leadership and are committed to creating new knowledge that can be applied for the betterment of our communities providing regional solutions to global problems.

Charles Sturt’s strategic research endeavours are currently organised through three Research Institutes, Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Futures Institute, Gulbali Institute for Agriculture, Water, and the Environment, and Rural Health Research Institute.
