CTWW is engaged with collaborative research across global water and wastewater networks. Our researchers participate in national and international research consortia, networks and associations in partnership with universities and research organisations around the world. These relationships build research capacity within CTWW by expanding our global academic networks and opportunities.

CTWW has a formal collaboration that includes joint research activities and internally funded academic and student exchange with other world class research centres such as College of Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Shanghai University and Faculty of Chemical Technology at Poznan University of Technology. CTWW currently hosts the ARC Research Hub on Nutrients in a Circular Economy and is a Tier 1 Partner of SAAFE CRC.

We regularly organise conferences and workshops and participate in research exchange in order to build capacity and knowledge across the academic sector.

Our research collaborations take the following formats:

  • Research collaborations
  • Multi-institution research collaborations
  • Bilateral collaboration agreements
