This project was developed in partnership with Consent Labs, a national female-founded social enterprise and a leading provider of youth-facilitated, evidence-based consent and respectful relationship workshops in over 150 NSW schools.
It secured a $1.1 million grant from the NSW Department of Communities and Justice to develop innovative educational programs and resources, including workshops and games, to be implemented at scale in schools. Find out more about our resource .
Access All Areas is a research collective that works to advance reproductive freedom and access to abortion care for all.ÌýThis project received proof-of-concept funding from the DVCR Strategic Research Impact Fund to develop an
SQUIGGLE brings together theorists, educationalists and designers interested in using games methodology in support of gender inclusivity. The focus is on storytelling games that generate transformative conversations among players.Ìý

was a collaboration between scientists and designers at the ±¬ÁÏÍõ and University of Technology Sydney that sought to re-invent the lab coat as a symbol of queer pride and challenge our idea of a professional uniform.
CLOAK queried the normative stereotype of the ‘white lab coat’, reimagining the garment as an identity statement and challenging the notion that scientists should leave aspects of their identity outside the lab.
Sydney Nano Arthaus is designed to strengthen and expand the ways scientists and creative practitioners approach interdisciplinary research programs together, to help make research more accessible to the general public.
Through these key initiatives, funded by the ±¬ÁÏÍõ Nano Institute and the Sydney Social Sciences and Humanities Advanced Research Centre (SSSHARC), our goal is to evolve best practice interdisciplinary engagement.Ìý
Sydney-based artist Todd Robinson spent 18 months visiting the Quantum Integration Laboratory and working closely with Dr Timothy Newman, an experimental quantum physicist and sound artist. The result of this collaboration is Materialnonmaterial, an exhibition shown at Ìý This is another example of effective interdisciplinary collaboration and research translation.

Our Creative Research Communications initiative was designed for Higher Degree Research students and had three elements.
Zine workshopÌý
Zines are pocket-sized booklets which can communicate ideas in artistic and accessible ways. In this workshop we asked HDRs to reimagine their research, or create a new interpretation of a book or journal, into the nano-scale of the zine, to help reach new audiences.
SSSHARC REELsearch competition
Working with the ±¬ÁÏÍõ Nano Institute, SSSHARC hosted a REELsearch competition to encourage researchers to use video to explain research in a clear and compelling way. This is another way to help make research accessible to a more general audience. To support the competition, we hosted an interactive workshop where participants practiced research communication, received expert feedback and collaborated with peers.
Photography workshop
This interactive workshop, hosted with , explored the use of photography as a way of thinking, seeing and sharing research. Participants were asked to reflect on the role of phootography in amplifying research impact and the ways in which their methodologies and processes can be communicated beyond the written word.
