The Centre for Markets, Values and Inclusion is one of the largest research centres at UniSA, home to many world-leaders in their fields. We partner with industry, governments, not for profit organisations and educational institutions to provide evidence-based policy-solutions, market approaches and global frameworks for today’s local and global challenges.
Our Centre also includes two specialist centres – the Australian Alliance for Social Enterprise delivering innovative housing solutions for those in precarious housing situations and the UniSA Tax Clinic that offers advice, advocacy, representation and education for those in need.
The Centre for Markets, Values and Inclusion is:
- Driving solutions for complex sustainability problems globally
- Evaluating Net benefits to industry when outcomes are uncertain
- Providing evidence to underpin transformations in policy and practice for a more inclusive future
- Understanding the dynamics of the global economy, justice and society
Through our research, our vision is to create a world in which social and economic development is sustainable and inclusive of all in society. Our mission is to combine specialist skills and multidisciplinary perspectives to provide innovative and enterprising solutions that support inclusive and sustainable communities locally, nationally and internationally.
