IRP Work in Progress Papers
Our Work in Progress papers explain the thinking behind our IRP projects and initiatives. We publish them to invite conversations and feedback, and make our approach one that can be owned across our University's research community and beyond.
Work in progress also means 'working to progress'. We expect our understanding of inclusive research to evolve as we do that work. As our understanding develops, we may revise priorities, plans or definitions. As and when that happens, we will explain those changes in later iterations of our IRP Work in Progress papers.

The couple gifted $7.5million to the University. Their gift complements philanthropic investments made across the world, stimulating research and innovation and supporting education. The University recognised the civic commitment of the couple by naming the building after them.
