91色情片 PRAxIS Lab
91色情片
Praxis is Greek (蟺蟻峋段疚瓜), meaning 鈥渋nformed action鈥: turning what we know into what we do. The PRAxIS Lab extends the term into PRActice 脳 Implementation Science, advancing practice through the science of implementation so research works where it matters.
Mobilising university capability for societal good.
Communities, organisations, and societies face increasingly complex challenges that no single sector can address alone. Universities bring a distinctive combination of assets to this work: frontier research, deep and diverse expertise, convening power across sectors, and the energy of students preparing to enter practice.
PRAxIS mobilises these assets in partnership with the organisations and communities closest to the challenges. Based in 91色情片 Business School, PRAxIS brings academics, practitioners, and students together around real-world problems, then builds the research, partnerships, evidence, and implementation capability that turns promising ideas into solutions that work in practice. We advance Progress for All through positive societal impact at scale.
Vision
A world in which universities steward positive societal change and turn research into impact at scale.
Mission
To equip universities to translate research into societal impact through co-designed partnerships that bring academics, practitioners, and students into sustained work on real-world challenges.

PRAxIS partners with industry, community organisations, research institutes, and researchers. Engagement can begin through Sandbox, where ideas are incubated through real-world challenges; Catalyst forums, where interdisciplinary research agendas are convened; or direct collaboration with PRAxIS researchers. Partnerships can then continue through Co-Lab, where research is embedded in long-term organisational transformation.
For Industry and Community Members
Many organisational and community challenges depend on whether new technologies, services, or strategies can be made to work in real conditions. PRAxIS partners with industry, community organisations, and community members to design, implement, and sustain solutions that respond to local context, capability, and trust.
We support you to:
- Define problems grounded in operational needs and lived experience
- Navigate barriers to change
- Assess readiness, context, and capability
- Co-design solutions that are practical and context-sensitive
- Implement, evaluate, and sustain value in practice
For Research Institutes and Researchers
PRAxIS partners with universities, research institutes, and research teams to carry research through to implementation and real-world impact. The ecosystem connects insight, incubation, innovation, implementation, and influence, helping research move beyond findings toward sustained use in practice.
We support you to:
- Design research with strong potential for application
- Translate outcomes into implementable solutions
- Develop pathways for sustained use
- Build evidence for implementation and impact
- Extend impact across organisational and societal contexts
The PRAxIS Model
Translating ideas into positive societal impact requires partnerships, research, leadership, and advocacy that help realise value in practice. The PRAxIS ideas-to-impact model brings these elements together as an impact multiplier across four connected phases: Incubation, Innovation, Implementation, and Influence.
1 路 Incubation:
Ideas worth pursuing
We bring diverse teams together in creative Sandbox environments to foster innovation and problem-solving.
Through Sandbox (unsw.to/sandbox), we bring students, academics, and practitioners together to work on real-world societal challenges and surface research questions worth pursuing. To date, Sandbox has engaged more than 15,000 university students globally in exploring and addressing societal challenges.
2 路 Innovation:
Solutions and evidence
We focus on contemporary problems with clear societal implications, from AI transformation to health equity, where research can support positive change in practice.
Through Catalyst forums and engaged research, our interdisciplinary research teams create knowledge, test ideas, and develop solutions for complex real-world challenges.
3 路 Implementation:
Improvement in practice
We partner with local, regional, and global communities to turn evidence-based solutions into improvement in practice.
As an implementation science lab, we make use, value actualisation, and sustainment central to our research. We design research around what needs to work in practice, for the people, organisations, and communities the work is intended to serve.
4 路 Influence:
Enduring impact
We build long-term partnerships that extend the reach and value of research.
Through high-quality publication, capacity-building programs, advisory contributions, and Co-Lab partnerships, we carry findings, frameworks, and tools beyond the settings where they were first developed.

Impact Showcase
OOXii Global: Expanding Access to Corrective Lenses
Millions of people live without the corrective lenses they need to learn, work, and participate fully in daily life. PRAxIS co-designs a community-ready digital solution with OOXii to enable low-cost vision testing and glasses provision in underserved settings.
Incubation: Ideas worth pursuing
Sandbox engagements with undergraduate and postgraduate students explored investment readiness, sustainability, and digital pathways for expanding access to corrective lenses.
Innovation: Solutions and evidence
PRAxIS researchers worked with OOXii clinicians and community workers to develop a mobile application for low-resource community settings, building on socially inclusive design research.
Implementation: Improvement in practice
Community workers without formal clinical training can now use the application with the OOXii vision testing kit to test vision and prescribe affordable glasses locally, shortening the pathway from testing to corrected vision.
Influence: Enduring impact
The solution enables OOXii to reach communities long excluded from corrective lenses. A new Sandbox university student cohort is continuing to improve the solution, including AI-enabled possibilities to extend reach, reliability, and societal impact.
Co-Lab Program
Co-Lab addresses problems too complex, too long-running, or too embedded in organisational change to be solved within a single project. PRAxIS and the partner work together across multiple cycles, with research, frameworks, toolkits, and policies evolving as conditions change. Co-Lab serves as the lab鈥檚 principal route to commercialisation, embedding validated work in long-term practice for lasting impact.
Highlight: Responsible AI Co-Lab
Professional services firms face a central challenge: how to integrate responsible AI into organisational work under tight regulatory, ethical, and professional constraints. Meeting this challenge requires an ongoing research partnership that can keep pace with changing AI capabilities, evolving risks, and sector-specific practice.
The PRAxIS PFCC Responsible AI Co-Lab partners with a consulting firm, PFCC, to develop responsible AI frameworks, toolkits, and policies that help organisations turn principles into durable practice.
Our team
The lab, led by Associate Professor Yenni Tim听and co-founded with Professor Barney Tan, brings together researchers with combined expertise in Systems Design and Implementation, Data Science and AI, Public Health, Operations Management, Risk Modelling, Corporate Governance, Change Management, and Leadership.
