• transcend disciplinary boundaries,
• share a common vision with an overarching and clearly defined set of research objectives,
• act as a hub for a critical mass of researchers and students, ensuring a dynamic, sustainable research base and an active knowledge sharing platform,
• provide a collaborative and supportive environment that nurtures high quality, impactful research and knowledge exchange with international visibility,
• increase the University’s national and international profile and reputation in distinct areas of research strength, as well as foment further research opportunities, and
• be exemplars of best practice in creating and sustaining a positive and inclusive research culture and environment in which people can flourish.
