Introducing Our Research
The universities that make up the Australian Technology Network of Universities (ATN) are the engine room of new ideas that will shape Australia’s prosperity for years to come.
At ATN, the research we do has real-world impact. We are leaders in collaboration with industry partners and other universities to leverage the right skills in research, engagement and commercialisation. Our research drives benefits for the economy, for people’s health and safety, and for meeting the world’s biggest challenges.
Along with innovative, flexible, workplace-connected teaching and a deep commitment to access and social justice, research with real-world impact is a part of ATN Universities’ DNA.
ATN Universities are joined by The University of Newcastle.
