National Collaboration
At a national level, our researchers participate in collaborative networks, centres and initiatives.
Cooperative Research Centres
Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) are long-term, large-scale centres that aim to foster research collaborations between university and industry partners to address issues of national significance.
Our FBL researchers have worked on projects for:
Examples include:
- RACE for 2030 CRC, Project 21.N4.F.0150: Business models and the energy transition (Julian Inchauspe)
- CRC TiME, Project 1.2: Post-mining Land Uses (Kirsten Holmes)
- CRC TiME, Project 2.1: Understanding the values of stakeholders in Australian post-mining economies (Fran Ackermann)
The expertise of our FBL researchers has also been recognised through appointments to research leadership roles within CRCs. Professor Robert Cunningham (Dean of the Curtin Law School), for example, currently leads Research Stream 4: RegTech with algorithmic real-time enforcement) within the Digital Finance CRC.
National Housing Research
Through participation in the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI), our researchers work on impact-focused collaborative housing projects and produce high-quality, evidence-based reports that inform housing policy and practice on a national scale.
Recent examples include:
- Indigenous mobility and its impact on remote infrastructural needs: an exploratory study (Authors: Megan Moskos, Linda Isherwood, Michael Dockery, Daphne Habibis, Liam Grealy, Richard Benedict, Mark Harris, Ranjodh Singh and Tess Lea)
- Specialist Disability Accommodation in the social housing sector: Policy and practice (Authors: Adam Crowe, Amity James, Gwyneth Peaty, Eleanor Malbon and Katie Ellis)
- From mixed tenure development to mixed tenure neighbourhoods (Authors: Lee-Anne Khor, Liz Taylor, Stephen Glackin, Steven Rowley, Stefan Siebel, Daniela Tinios and Rashed Azizi)
- Investigative panel into building and retaining an effective homelessness sector workforce (Authors: Amity James, Patrick D. Dunlop, Catherine Gilbert, Jess Gilbert, Marylène Gagné, Cameron Parsell, Jenna Cawthray and Hawa Muhammad Farid)
- The new normal: changed patterns of dwelling demand and supply (Authors: Steven Rowley, Ryan Brierty, Francesca Perugia, Habib Rahman, Ranjodh Singh, Mohammad Swapan and Liz Taylor)
