  • Connect the data rich ecosystem at the University to enhance distinguished research
  • Enable vital fundamental research and deeper exploration into methodological foundations of data science
  • Collaborate across academia, the private and public sectors, research centres, centres of excellence and research groups to drive innovation
  • Assemble interdisciplinary teams of data science experts and domain experts to tackle long-term and/or large-scale projects
  • Employ data science methods to aid circular discovery and further learned enquiry
  • Inject data science expertise into real-world problems to provide cutting edge solutions
  • Fortify research and educational training in data science for students, postdocs, academics and professionals
  • Progress research outcomes, translation and impact by unblocking impediments by addressing methodological constraints
  • Advise on, promote and observe strong data governance policies and practices
