Research Leadership Program

Become a research champion.

Research is a cornerstone of effective decision-making. For the water sector to be prepared to address risks and seize opportunities, organisations need water professionals with curious minds who champion research, ask challenging questions, seek evidence-based answers, and drive solutions through innovation.

Our Research Leadership Program caters to water professionals at all stages of their career from students undertaking research degrees to seasoned (early/mid/senior-career) professionals in academia and the water sector.

Our RLP delivers industry-focused training courses, mentoring, and professional development support opportunities such as scholarships, awards and networking packages that nurture curiosity, increase research skills and knowledge, build capability, maximise research value, and instil confidence to be a career-long research champion and leader within the water sector.
