The Elizabeth Rutherford Memorial Centre for the Advancement of Research on Emotion (CARE) seeks to commemorate and extend the legacy of Dr Elizabeth Rutherford by bringing together world leading and aspiring researchers to drive innovative and collaborative research that combines a focus on cognitive mechanisms with inter-disciplinary research to advance our understanding of emotion.

Key objectives and focus areas of the centre include:
​

• Bringing together world leaders in different research areas to establish new innovations in the understanding of emotion.
• Investigating patterns of selective information processing (or cognitive biases) that may underpin mental health problems and resilience, and examining the causal contribution of these biases to anxiety, worry, and adaptive functioning in the face of adversity.
• Evaluating recent developments in cognitive bias modification (CBM) techniques to contribute to the emotional well-being of the Australian community.
