The QUEX Institute is a pioneering partnership between the University of Queensland and the University of Exeter, established to drive high-impact research that tackles some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Guided by the overarching theme of Global Sustainability and Wellbeing, the Institute brings together expertise from both universities to address complex global issues through four key research themes:

Healthy Living
Global Environmental Futures
Digital Worlds and Disruptive Technologies
Mineral Security and Sustainability

The four themes were developed through a strategic assessment of emerging research priorities, as well as to embody the complementary research strengths of both institutions.
