The Academic's and
Policy-Maker's Guides to the
Teaching-research Nexus

This website aims to disseminate the findings of a national project into the links between teaching and research in Australian higher education institutions. The purpose of the project is to prepare new strategies to assist Australian universities to strengthen the teaching-research nexus in both institutional policy and individual practice. The project team will draw on practices identified in targeted discipline areas to prepare resources that will provide illustrative possibilities across three broad student levels: first year students, final year undergraduate students and postgraduate coursework students. This website will provide evidence-based, ready-to-use resources built on a scholarly foundation of evidence gathered from international sources, as well as a rigorous national study of effective teaching-research nexus practices in Australian universities. In so doing, we will address a significant gap: the absence of practical resources for academics and policy-makers wishing to engage with the issue and operationalise the teaching-research nexus in classroom, faculty and institutional practice.
