Project Management

The New Wave in Research Management

The RRRC manages and delivers one of the world's most comprehensive tropical environmental research portfolios. It is a not-for-profit consortium of researchers, industry and community organisations with a strong emphasis on partnerships, outcomes and delivery.

What sets the RRRC apart is a unique focus on engagement with key sectors to deliver solutions based on good science that address key tropical environmental management issues.

RRRC leads the way as a knowledge broker, ensuring the effective delivery of research results and tools to end users. The aim is for end users to be aware of new research, to understand the implications, and then apply the new knowledge towards increasingly sustainable outcomes. This results in the maximum possible return on investment in public-good research, and the best possible benefit for the North Queensland region.

 

RRRC’s extensive partnership network means access to expertise in a wide range of areas including:

  • Marine and terrestrial biodiversity
  • Coastal fisheries
  • Impacts of climate change
  • Social mapping
  • Base line study
  • Fire regimes in rainforests
  • Pesticides
  • Impacts of coastal eco systems
  • Logistics and communications support
  • Indigenous partnerships
