Research Week 2026
19 to 23 October 2026
Celebrating 15 years of research excellence
Showcasing discovery, innovation and impact
Bond University will hold it's 15th annual Research Week between 19 and 23 October 2026 to highlight the excellent research happening at Bond University and the impact of the research on everyday life.
From AI and ethics to research impact, collaboration and emerging discoveries, Research Week 2026 is your opportunity to explore the ideas, people and projects driving research at Bond.
Events will be open to members of the public, staff, and students.
We are building a research culture that punches above its weight: agile, focused and deeply connected to real-world challenges.
Ambition grows in good company
We collaborate with industry, government and community partners to turn ideas into impact. We deliver research that changes lives and strengthens community.
Our research has purpose
Bond researchers don't simply publish, they solve, translate and partner.
Whether it's digital health or clean energy futures, we prioritise impact over volume.
This culture of inquiry extends beyond research itself, informing teaching and creating richer learning opportunities for our students.
