2026 program coming soon.

Strategic discussions and community meetings

We begin by building relationships through a Strategic Discussion that helps us understand the community – its people, priorities and aspirations. From there, we work alongside community members and organisations to identify opportunities for collaboration and create meaningful, positive outcomes. These ongoing collaborations aim for shared success and are essential to achieving impact together.

Educational experiences and connection-building

We deliver events, workshops and educational activities in the regions to build aspiration, support lifelong learning, celebrate advances by our regionally located research partners and grow our connections with communities. This includes masterclasses for local businesses in partnership with Business Chamber Queensland and hands-on STEM activities delivered by Inspiring Australia Queensland.

Connecting with UQ alumni

Our UQ Regional Roadshows enable us to meet with UQ alumni across Queensland. We create opportunities for our alumni to meet and connect with their local network, reconnect with the University and become ambassadors in their area.
