About us
Accredited by the AACSB for research that creates positive societal impact
We work alongside community, business and government partners to help decision-makers identify the risks and opportunities for regional organisations and markets, improve productivity and wellbeing in work and workplaces, and drive regional development that is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.
Our research focuses on how to build resilience and sustainability in industries that are core to Tasmania’s economy – resources and renewable energy, food and agribusiness, and health and social care – looking at cross-cutting issues of global and regional supply chains, consumer behaviour and corporate social responsibility, finance and taxation, housing and affordable housing, labour and retail markets.
We are building robust, place-based data strategies to capture information and input from Tasmanian individuals, households and organisations (businesses and not-for-profits) to foster a better understanding of the communities in which we live. Coupled with insights from our Tasmanian Behavioural Laboratory (tas.be.lab) and our multidisciplinary modelling expertise, this data will support governments, organisations and individuals to make informed choices on how to build more sustainable regional futures.
