Research on the rise

With the fastest growth in research income of any Australian university from 2018*, our fearless commitment to groundbreaking research is helping to shape a better future. 

Our researchers are working hand-in-hand with industry across health, advanced manufacturing, defence, justice, environment and more. Leading the nation with the highest success rate, Flinders recently attracted over $6.9M in the highly prestigious Australian Research Council’s Industry Fellowship grant funding for 2024 and an additional $6.6 million in the Future Fellowships round in 2024.

Flinders University researchers have long challenged conventional wisdom and created new ways of thinking about difficult issues. Our outstanding achievements are a strong indication of the ambition that drives our discoveries, which we translate into practice to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
