UNSW is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and supportive research environment that empowers researchers to make meaningful contributions to the fields of business and economics. We’re committed to supporting our research community with world-class infrastructure, data management tools and financial assistance across all research programs. From innovative simulation laboratories to extensive grant programs, our enviable research environment will support you in delivering research with purpose.

Our commitment to excellence is further reflected in our state-of-the-art facilities, including the cutting-edge Business Experimental Research Laboratory (BizLab, opens in a new window). We provide the tools, resources and collaborative opportunities that enable you to conduct high-quality research with a real-world impact.

BizLab

Welcome to the forefront of research innovation: the Business Experimental Research Laboratory (BizLab, opens in a new window). Our state-of-the-art business research lab is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of research methodologies. BizLab is a hub for researchers from multiple disciplines within the UNSW Business School, where they conduct cross-disciplinary human subject experiments that explore decision-making in business and economics.

The cornerstone of BizLab’s capabilities lies in its cutting-edge facilities, cleverly designed to support sophisticated experiments. With 48 touch screen workstations, researchers can engage with participants in controlled environments, meticulously studying their decisions and behaviours. But BizLab goes beyond traditional research set-ups – it ventures into the realm of human simulations where researchers can model and predict real-world impacts with unprecedented accuracy.

To augment these capabilities, BizLab has instruments for bio-physiological measurement. These tools include high-tech eye trackers that capture eye movements rapidly, EEG equipment for concurrent skin-conductance measurement, and EKG and EEG monitoring. With so many data-collection tools at your disposal, research outcomes are enriched, and researchers can derive deeper insights into the interplay between human cognition and decision-making.

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), which have become increasingly relevant in today’s business landscape, are also at the heart of BizLab’s offering. These technologies open new avenues for exploring decision-making in immersive environments that mirror real-world scenarios.

Researcher support

At the UNSW Business School, we believe that fostering a culture of collaboration and mentorship is essential to nurturing excellence in research. We are always committed to supporting researchers – and that extends far beyond just providing state-of-the-art facilities. We are forging an environment that encourages engagement, exploration and long-term growth.

One of the hallmarks of our researcher support system is the opportunity to collaborate with – and be mentored by – world-renowned business researchers. Our research community thrives on diversity, which is why we bring together experts from various disciplines to tackle complex challenges. Through collaborative initiatives and interdisciplinary projects, researchers have the chance to tap into a wealth of knowledge that goes beyond traditional boundaries.
