ECU has a commitment to ensure the conduct of ethical research by staff and students.
Ethics is important to ensure:
Ethics approval protects participants (human or animal), the researcher, the University and the community in general. Ethics advice and support for students and staff is provided by the Research Services.
Research students and staff also have access to an abundance of resources and guidance via the University’s Research Intranet.
This website introduces our Graduate Research Services, a service centre that supports and develops research students through face-to-face and online training, mentoring, seminars, academic events and social activities.
The Research Intranet also features the Office of Research Services, a centre that supports and advises research staff on issues like research ethics, commercialisation and funding opportunities, and provides professional development opportunities.
We offer an enhanced learning experience for research students through our School's Research Office, with the aim of providing support and conducive academic environment. The Office oversees the School’s research activities and research students.
The Research Office manages funding support, research supervision, adjunct appointments and visiting scholars within the School and works collaboratively with academic staff and HDR students through its Research and Research Training Committee.
The Research Hub, located in the Research Office is a space devoted to nurturing collaboration and interdisciplinary research, and provides access to researchers and HDR students in all disciplines.
