Synergy is a series of events, hosted at ACU's main campuses. The events feature research project presentations, facilitated discussions, and an opportunity to network to explore research projects and generate ongoing collaborations with the Faculty of Education and Arts.

Synergy by definition means the interaction and cooperation that gives rise to a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. It embodies the dynamic coming together of researchers and community partners.

By facilitating impactful research through partnerships, Synergy will directly contribute to the University's Vision of "enabling flourishing lives, fostering thriving communities and forging an ethical future".
