The UQ Research Culture Awards recognise outstanding contributions, achievements, and leadership that have significantly impacted the research landscape at the University of Queensland. These awards celebrate individuals and teams from the academic and professional sectors who have demonstrated dedication and commitment to areas such as research conduct, reproducibility, open research practices, innovation, collaboration, community engagement, and research career development.
Dr Kiah Smith's contributions directly benefit the food system transformation through her creative and highly engaged approach to knowledge co-creation with civil society, which has already resulted in significant policy impact. In particular, ‘Fair Food Futures’ has been translated to public, policy and advocacy audiences via an animation and 8-episode podcast, supported by Future Earth. The animation has raised awareness of food justice and directs the public towards practical actions to progress the SDGs.
