Visiting Research Fellowships
Bringing the brightest
minds together
Solving issues with collaboration.
When researchers collaborate – combining their exceptional
talents – they achieve remarkable outcomes.
Each Fellowship residency lasts for up to
a month, during which time Fellows work
with UniSA researchers to generate research
ideas that support both local and global
business and community health and growth.
The residencies are just the beginning of
long and productive relationships between
researchers.
The University matches Fellowship funding
received from our generous supporters,
essentially doubling the impact. The
program is transformative for the Fellowship
recipients, UniSA researchers, and the
broader community.
Since its inception in 2022, the UniSA Visiting
Research Fellowship scheme has encouraged
collaboration between thought leaders
from around Australia, New Zealand, Britain,
Europe, Canada and the United States.
By March 2023, 20 individuals and
organisations had funded more than 178
Fellowships (including those matched by
UniSA) with 15 Fellowships completed.

In bringing together leading Visiting Research
Fellows (VRFs) from around the world and
Australia – many world leaders in their
fields – to work alongside UniSA researchers,
we amplify the impact of our work. This
proximity also provides opportunities to
connect with businesses and communities,
inspiring further innovation. Through these
partnerships, local and global communities
can thrive.
The areas of research encompassed by our
VRFs are many and varied, stretching from
education and community development to
medical research, Aboriginal* homelessness
and cybersecurity.
