CRN Self Sustaining Regions

Welcome To The UB COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH NETWORK (CRN)

The University of Ballarat and partner institutions, Deakin University, Monash University and University of Melbourne, are embarking on an exciting new research project, the Self-sustaining Regions Research and Innovation Initiative, supported through the Australian Government’s Collaborative Networks program.

The initiative explores new ways of strengthening regional “well-being” and driving regional rejuvenation.

The initiative’s collaborations focus on areas of common interest and aim to enhance the research capacity of all involved. Over three years researchers working in a variety of areas such as regional science and technology, regional connectedness and health innovation, and regional landscape change will contribute to the success of this initiative.
