Welcome to
The QUEX Institute was officially launched in mid-2017 as a high-profile strategic partnership between the University of Exeter and the University of Queensland.
Operating as a virtual institute, QUEX seeks to address major global challenges through high impact interdisciplinary, collaborative research; student and staff exchanges; high impact policy publications; and engagement of industry and community. An initial investment of AUD$4.5 million ($2.25million per institution) was committed to supporting the Institute’s activities over 2018-2020.
In the wake of current global events, it has become clear that highly collaborative and international partnerships, such as QUEX, will prove fundamental and valuable in helping us guide and support our global community through these unprecedented times. In support of this, we have jointly renewed our commitment to the Institute for a further 3 years and revised the focus, which is now consolidated around the three reframed themes:
These themes both reflect UQ and Exeter’s research and teaching strengths, while are also well positioned to tackle some of the most significant challenges facing the world today.
