2. Cross-faculty industry partnership nabs research award
Posted: 15/09/2017
An innovative research partnership between The University of Queensland and the Port of Brisbane has been honoured with a 2017 UQ Partners in Research Excellence Award (PIREA).
The PIREA is one of three categories at UQ’s annual Research Week Awards. The award highlights outstanding industry-UQ collaborations that have benefited industry and the community.
Established in early 2015, the Developing Port Growth partnership connects researchers from UQ’s Faculties of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology and Business, Economics and Law with Queensland’s premier multi-cargo port.
Led by Professor Carlo Prato and Dr Alistair Grinham from the School of Civil Engineering and Dr Peggy Schrobback from the School of Economics, the partnership has dual aims: to future-proof Port growth in an increasingly competitive global trade environment, and to stimulate the Queensland economy.
