Research Festival

James Cook University will hold its annual Research Festival in 2026 to showcase the outstanding research taking place across JCU and to highlight the real-world impact of our work locally, nationally, and globally.

Research Week brings together researchers, Higher Degree by Research candidates, industry partners, community stakeholders, staff, and students to celebrate discovery, collaboration, and innovation. The program will feature keynote presentations, research showcases, panel discussions, networking events, and the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Final.

Events will be open to members of the public, staff, and students. Further information will be available soon.
