When is Research Week?

Research Week has concluded for 2025. This website will reflect any future Research Week plans once they are finalised. 

St Vincent’s Sydney Health Innovation Precinct (SVSHIP) is a collaborative partnership focusing on medical research and healthcare delivery. The SVSHIP cornerstone partners are co-located together in the heart of Sydney – on Gadigal land – and include St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney, Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, St Vincent’s Private Hospital Sydney, and St Vincent’s Clinic. We also have a further group of collaborative partners who share our passion for health, research and education, including University of New South Wales, Kirby Institute, Nursing Research Institute, University of Notre Dame, Australian Catholic University, Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety & Depression, Cunningham Centre for Palliative Care, and National Centre for Clinical Research on Emerging Drugs. 

SVSHIP Research Week is a week-long program of research focused events. Held in various locations across our Darlinghurst Precinct, Research Week provides opportunities for researchers and healthcare providers from our Precinct partners, and beyond, to come together to present and discuss their research, learn more about the depth and breadth of research and development that is happening across our partners and collaborators, gain knowledge from external national and international experts, and to build connections and new collaborations. 
 
Not only will participants be able to discuss the latest research with a much broader network of colleagues than in their usual day-to-day activities, they will also have opportunities to upskill in various areas, including AI in health and research, research ethics, science communication, and translation and industry engagement. 

Everyone is welcome! This includes SVSHIP researchers in training (Masters and PhD candidates), early- to mid-career researchers, and senior academics. As well as healthcare providers (clinicians, nurses and allied health workers), and support staff who enable productive research, SVSHIP strategy and other leaders.

Our Precinct is on the ancestral land of the Gadigal and Bidjigal Peoples of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge the many different traditional countries and language groups of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples that work and visit us here. We also acknowledge that our partnerships and engagements happen across many different lands.
