Attraction and retention: the role of mobility in educational pathways and human capital development. This project will examine the factors that attract and retain school leavers and tertiary graduates in cities, towns and rural areas of non-metropolitan Victoria. It will increase understanding of how spatial mobility shapes young people's transition through higher education to adulthood and guide regional development policy to enhance human capital.
Evaluating the effectiveness of fire safety programs in emergency services management.

This project aims to develop the next generation of decision-support tools for interdisciplinary research on critical public policy issues. This project will use linked open data, knowledge graphs and collaborations across existing research infrastructure projects. Expected outcomes include inter-operability across major social science databases and new analytical tools that will transform the research capabilities for evidence-based policy making. Outcomes are expected on sustainable built environments and transport in urban and regional communities, social care and health in the community, work and wellbeing, digital inclusion and digital health.Read moreRead less
Australia’s new cities: past, present and future. This project aims to investigate the conceptualisation, creation and promotion of new cities in Australia since the mid-20th century. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of urban planning and architectural history, leading to new understandings of community engagement with planning and architecture and dialogue on decentralisation, housing affordability and metropolitan primacy.

This project aims to investigate the conceptualisation, creation and promotion of new cities in Australia since the mid-20th century. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of urban planning and architectural history, leading to new understandings of community engagement with planning and architecture and dialogue on decentralisation, housing affordability and metropolitan primacy. Expected outcomes of this project include contribution to the national conversation regarding political vision for large-scale infrastructure through a book, short film and media engagement on the topic. This project should provide significant benefits to community dialogue on issues of heritage, housing and environment.Read moreRead less

The Data Cooperative (Co-Op) Platform for Social Impact and Wellbeing aims to make data-driven research and decision-making in the social sciences more effective and efficient by developing infrastructure to support data integration and harmonisation of diverse data resources. Social research relies on a vast array of data types and sources, both open and confidential, making data analysis complex and time-consuming. This project will drive innovation across a range of critical social issues that require integrated data for research and social innovation including healthcare, better outcomes for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, resilient urban, rural and regional communities, and increasing our capacity to respond to climate change.

Beyond the resource curse: redistribution and resource-led development. The project aims to improve the sustainability of resource-led development in Australia and worldwide via a novel, multi-scalar framework, co-produced with mining/Indigenous communities that connects local development outcomes with mining global production networks (GPN). It will generate new, community co-authored and policy-engaged knowledge to better attune fiscal, industry and regional policies to tackling the local reso ....Beyond the resource curse: redistribution and resource-led development. The project aims to improve the sustainability of resource-led development in Australia and worldwide via a novel, multi-scalar framework, co-produced with mining/Indigenous communities that connects local development outcomes with mining global production networks (GPN). It will generate new, community co-authored and policy-engaged knowledge to better attune fiscal, industry and regional policies to tackling the local resource curse. Expected outcomes include co-developed GPN theory advances; new policies for sustainable mining locality development; and more engaged mining/Indigenous communities. Significant welfare savings, social coherence, environment amelioration and cultural transformation benefits are expected.Read moreRead less
