Breaking barriers, building legacies.
## A once-in-a-generation opportunity
Queensland is getting ready to welcome the world in 2032.
Ensuring an ongoing legacy will require government, industry, communities and universities from across Australia and internationally to work together.
For more than a century, UQ’s world-leading capabilities and facilities, backed by forward-thinking experts and global connections, have delivered for the public good.
If you share our vision of a better future for all, email [games2032@uq.edu.au](mailto:games2032@uq.edu.au) to partner with us.
