About Us

The School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) is a world-class academic centre renowned for its pioneering research and education on regulation and governance.

For the past 20 years, RegNet has carried out transformative research that develops innovative ways of responding to the complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century. Our work is distinctly interdisciplinary and focuses on improving the governance of major social, economic, environmental and health issues. We embrace forward-looking and big-picture thinking, recognising that regulation is essential to understanding governance in our globalised world.

As a School, our character is unique: we are inclusive and cooperative in our approach while being bold and ambitious in our actions. A diverse network of experts from different backgrounds sustains our vibrant community. We are united by a shared intellectual curiosity in regulation and governance and a commitment to deep and collegial engagement. Working collaboratively, we generate knowledge that informs policy, practice and public discourse in Australia, Asia, the Pacific and globally.

RegNet adopts an integrated and holistic approach to research, education and outreach. Robust research is the foundation for our education programs, which are designed to train the governors and regulatory leaders of today and tomorrow across fields. Our engagement work brings academics and practitioners together to address some of society’s greatest concerns – climate change, conflict and injustice, disruptive technologies, economic and health inequality and geopolitical contestation.
