Partnerships with Industry

Partnerships with Industry

ECU has developed strong partnerships with industry groups since we were established in 1991. We collaborate with all types of businesses, including new start-ups, small to medium enterprises, not-for-profits, community organisations, government and large corporates in the resources sector.

Arts & Humanities

We connect our teaching and research programs to our local and global communities through a range of active industry projects, exhibitions, and creative collaborations. This unique interaction has enabled us to establish professional affiliations with a number of partners within the growing creative industries. This gives students the opportunity to engage with industry across a range of disciplines and professions.
