We offer workshops and consulting across a range of topics, delivered as research seminars, interactive workshops, or intimate masterclasses:

  • High-Stakes Decision Making

We've trained organisations including the FBI, focusing on enhancing expertise and decision-making. See our recent videos for insights on the current state of AI.

Contract research

Contract Research

We have a long history of rigorous, collaborative research with external partners. Examples include:

  • Banknote security perception for the Reserve Bank of Australia
  • Lost passport reporting incentives for DFAT
  • Road safety nudges for Victoria Road Safety
  • Forensic assessments for the National Institute of Forensic Science
  • AI and mindfulness reports for the OECD
  • Decision-making courses for the Queensland Police Service

Contract research can be set up and performed quickly through UQ's partnership managers, making it ideal for time-sensitive projects.

Research partnership

Research Partnership

For longer-term collaborations, the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage scheme provides $50,000–$300,000 per year for 2–5 years, with partner organisations contributing a minimum 25% cash plus in-kind support.

We've been successful with this scheme, receiving $332,000 for "Forensic Reasoning and Uncertainty" and $364,188 for "Creating Perceptual Experts in Australia's Policing and Security Agencies"—projects involving nearly every major police agency in Australia.

The application process takes time, but the scheme provides outstanding value for money.
