Institute for Regional Development

IRD Research and Flagships

The IRD’s work to date has consolidated into two flagship research areas that we see as significant to the future of this and other regions. They are:

1. Socio-Economic InnovationMake it to Market Poster

The Socio-Economic Innovation flagship explores innovative approaches to community and regional development that cross social and economic domains to generate multiple outcomes for communities and regions.

2. The New Regional Campus

The New Regional Campus flagship seeks to explore the role that regional university campuses can play in regional development, and the overall role of universities and higher education access in rural regions.
