Research centres and institutes
La Trobe University participates in a number of collaborative research centres and joint ventures with other research organisations, industry and government bodies. Pursuant to the Strategic Plan, the University will deepen its research capacity by supporting a number of research institutes that will provide an opportunity for a significant number of academic staff from more than one discipline area to focus their research effort on a common field of enquiry. The expectation is that all institutes will develop a strong track record of external research funding.
