Hubs

Linking academia and industry together through research

Our hubs are built around large concepts that provide an interdisciplinary perspective with multiple levels of analysis.

They are designed to bring together industry, academia and students to foster collaboration and progress in the specialist areas of energy and humanitarian engineering.

Energy Hub

Energy drives economies and sustains societies. Presently, energy production and use is amongst the largest contributors to global warming.

Our Energy Hub is focused on fostering industry-led collaborations with academia and government as well as promoting excellence and innovation in advanced engineering within the energy sector.

It’s focused on the energy journey, the opportunities and challenges, as well as the policies needed to achieve the results and make Australia a leader in new energy.

Furthermore, it supports the University of Sydney’s target of net zero emissions by 2030 by focusing and facilitating linkages and projects between the university and industry in energy engineering.

Humanitarian Engineering Hub

Humanitarian engineering is the application of engineering for humanitarian aid purposes.

It combines multiple engineering disciplines to address the world’s crises and humanitarian emergencies, and to improve the wellbeing of marginalised populations in developing countries and fragile states. ​

Our Humanitarian Engineering Hub provides a forum for the promotion of humanitarian engineering within the context of international development, with a focus on the application of technology and innovation. 

Its focus is on post disaster relief and enhancing benefits to recipient communities in developing countries.   ​
