Now in it's second year, the Porous Boundaries Forum 2024 provides an opportunity to connect with researchers in the Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics, and gain insight into how research in these broad areas enhances outcomes for real world problems every day. We are keen to share and explore new links with members of our broader community - small business, big business, government, community organisations, politicians and the general public. There are so many innovate ways we can work together - it all starts with a free and open conversation. Join us to start the conversation!

Our researchers are specialists in:

Health + community care
Business + Law
Aboriginal Knowledges
Environment and climate
Cybersecurity
Education, and more...

We're experts in researching culture + gender in business and health + community service provision, and adept at understanding local, national and international politics and relations - any context that involves people and their relations, we're interested in!

We're expert in helping you to understand exactly how effective your service or business is for your clients or customers - we can offer precise insights into how to make your service provision more effective, and even how to become a gender, cultural or environmental provider of choice to lift what you do to the next level.

We're also curious to learn what business looks like for you - what issues are you facing? What problems are you trying to solve? What research insights might you need? How might we help you to grow your impact?

The Porous Boundaries Forum will demystify the ways to use research as an enabler for your goals - it's aim is to make working with the University simple, potent, rewarding and cost effective for all.
