UTS is committed to research, innovation, and sharing knowledge of public value. Our researchers are leaders in creating solutions for the increasingly complex challenges facing our society—driving sustainable economic, social, and cultural prosperity.

Not all scholarly research turns into a journal article.

A software algorithm, architectural design, film, or article of clothing could all be Non-Traditional Research Outputs.

UTS PhDs can integrate NTROs into their research journey, part of the distinctive way UTS supports our students to explore issues and problems that are meaningful to them.

NTROs are one way of creating and sharing new knowledge through practice-based or applied research.

In this session, you'll hear from a range of UTS researchers who incorporate NTROs into their research practice. Topics include:

why NTROs are worth pursuing as a researcher
what forms NTROs commonly take in different disciplines
creativity, industry, and NTROs
how researchers evaluate the quality of a NTRO
what steps you can take to incorporate a NTRO into your research journey
