The Centre for Policy Futures (CPF) is a focal point for UQ researchers wanting to inform the debate today, to influence the policy of tomorrow

Through its close affiliations with other UQ research faculties, CPF harness expertise in humanities and social sciences, economics, law, and business to be positioned at the intersection of rapid science and technological advancements and their implications for Australian society, economy, politics, and the environment. It provides academic rigour and practical solutions for some of the most complex issues facing policymakers and politicians across Queensland, Australia, the Pacific and beyond.

Its transdisciplinary team addresses research priorities to support policy development and decision-making on a wide range of areas, most notably across our four research themes:

  • Science, Technology and Society
  • Social and Environmental Sustainability
  • Social Justice, Rights and Empowerment 
  • Work Futures and Economic Security
