The James Martin Institute (JMI) awarded its prestigious annual Policy Challenge Grants during a ceremony at the State Library of NSW on Wednesday evening.

Two University of Sydney researchers, Dr Mitchell Gibbs and Professor Kalervo Gulson, were awarded grants for their projects to inform public policy challenges.

The research projects focus on habitat restoration using Indigenous knowledges and the impacts of artificial intelligence in education.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Emma Johnston congratulated the researchers:

“The University of Sydney is thrilled to see our partnership with JMI continue to provide public benefit to Australia. I wish to extend my congratulations to Dr Gibbs and Professor Gulson and their teams on receiving these grants.

“Their success is a testament to the vibrant research ecosystem at our University, fostering collaboration and cutting-edge inquiry. We look forward to the enduring positive impact these projects will have on shaping effective and inclusive public policies.”
