UQ and Germany

10 collaborative research projects have been approved for $80,236 in funding in the 2021 UQ Global Strategy and Partnerships Seed Funding Scheme. A total of 17 eligible applications were received for this round amounting to $147,067 in requested funding.

UQ hosted His Excellency Dr Thomas Fitschen, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Australia, at the St Lucia campus in April 2021 for his first visit to UQ.

Africa is often referred to as the cradle of humankind – the birthplace of our species, Homo sapiens. There is evidence of the development of early symbolic behaviours such as pigment use and perforated shell ornaments in Africa, but so far most of what we know about the development of complex social behaviours such as burial and mourning has come from Eurasia.

German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce spoke with Dr Jessica Gallagher, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement and Entrepreneurship) at the University of Queensland, to talk about the University's sustainability projects.

Building on joint research excellence in science and engineering, the advanced flagship partnership between The University of Queensland (UQ) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will deliver innovative solutions to address global challenges and further global impact.

With two ground-breaking projects, UQ aims to reduce its environmental impact.
