Research Management Business Transformation Program

The Research Management Business Transformation (RMBT) Program encompasses a broad range of targeted projects designed to streamline, enhance and support research, researchers and research training through the provision of new digital solutions, including:

  • visibility and improved service for research management such as grants and ethics,
  • easy research collaboration with safe, accessible data storage for our researchers and their partners both internal and external to UQ,
  • enhanced portability and security of research data through digital research notebooks,
  • transparency of candidature for Higher Degree by Research candidates and advisors, and
  • greater visibility and access to research equipment and infrastructure for UQ researchers and external collaborators from the sector and industry.
