Griffith and Deakin universities showcase importance of research in solving problems of the world

Griffith University has teamed up with Deakin University to develop ‘Why Research Matters’, a two-week online course which is now available for enrolment on the global social learning platform, FutureLearn.
The research methods needed when undertaking a PhD and carrying out research will be demonstrated during the free course which starts on December 4. Learners can complete it at their own pace.
The course has been designed by Professor Nick Barter (left), Academic Director, Griffith Online, and Associate Professor Christopher Stevenson, Deakin University.
“Research has the power to transform lives and make the world a better place in which to live,” Professor Barter said. “It is central to the changes that are happening around us day after day, year on year. Our world evolves because of research.”
The free online course will explore the influence and impact of research on government policy, improvements in healthcare and quality control in the manufacturing industry.
