RED
Make a real-world impact while you study
RED is designed to expose undergraduate students to the world of cutting-edge research at Monash University.
All the challenges students work on relate to the global challenges of our time, so if you'd like to start making a difference, join us!
RED is a three-week, in-person intensive unit enabling students to perform research alongside other innovators.
Working in small teams, students tackle real-world research problems set by external partners – problems aligned with global priorities like climate change, geopolitical security and thriving communities. The experience is immersive, collaborative and inclusive, encouraging students to contribute diverse perspectives to complex issues.
The unit is available to students in their second year or above who are enrolled in an eligible course.
RED is designed to give students the opportunity to explore what research can look like beyond the classroom, and address the under-representation of marginalised voices in research.
By embedding students in cutting-edge research at Monash, we create a bridge between research and real-world impact.
Listen to what alumni and the RED team have to say about the program, what it means to them, and how it can transform your uni experience.
Maria, RED alumni student
“The last 2 weeks of in-person RED have taught me more than 3 semesters of my degree. The experts we have met, conversed and networked with have been lovely and the opportunities RED has provided are priceless. The friendships made along the way have been truly authentic and genuine, I can truly say I have learned so much from these people already.”
