25.01.2022 Are you a business in the New England North West that has a product or service to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and wellbeing of people of NSW? T...he NSW Government is seeking to support businesses to accelerate the commercialisation of research products. The Innovation Districts Challenges are designed to accelerate the commercialisation of research products that address the impacts of COVID-19 by businesses in partnership with universities and CSIRO in NSW. There will be a series of Challenges, with themes that align with the NSW Government ‘Respond, Recover and Reform’ approach to COVID-19. Challenge No. 1 is now open! Small to medium sized enterprises that have a product or service that directly addresses the impact of COVID-19 are eligible to be part of the Challenge.

24.01.2022 Helping those left behind. UNE researcher Marg Rogers is looking at issue facing the families of emergency services and Defence Force personnel while on deployment. "My research focuses on how to support children with at least one parent who must travel afar for work (such as military families). But the same techniques may apply in households with a firefighter or other fire-affected community support worker in the family."

23.01.2022 The eldest of Bill and Viv McClymont's four children, Vicki Poulter practically grew up on the UNE campus after the family moved to Armidale in 1955 for Bill to take up his appointment as the foundation dean of the Rural Science faculty. Its multi-disciplinary degree program was the first of its kind in Australia and it was just one year after UNE had become independent of the University of Sydney. "I can remember going up to the Animal House with Dad and visiting CSIRO at Chiswick to look at sheep they were working with for nutrition research," Vicki says. "Driving around with Dad you'd be continually stopping so he could climb through fences and look at pastures. I knew that nutrition and pastures were really important for animal health from a young age."

20.01.2022 Leading alumni Chris Bowen will be presenting this year's Earle Page Politics Lecture as a joint socially distant 'in person' and online event on the topic "Stronger on the other side: A healthier society after COVID-19'. "By global standards, Australia has responded well to COVID-19. But we were unprepared for a pandemic with tragic consequences in aged care and continue to ignore other health threats including chronic disease, mental ill-health, and stark disparities f...or First Australians and the regions." "To improve these outcomes and recover from the first recession in three decades, Australia must tackle underlying challenges like climate change and tenuous employment. But emerging stronger on the other side of COVID-19 will require sustained focus from government." Find out how you can attend or watch online...

18.01.2022 The knowledge and skills you learn in university will often help you for the rest of your life. #UNEAlumni Dr Vanessa Guthrie is a fantastic example of this. ...The principles of science that I first learned at UNE looking for facts and being observant of trends, and analysing data to make decisions have stayed with me throughout my career, and remain the basis of how I approach questions in my current roles as a non-executive director on a number of boards across Australia. Dr Guthrie began her tertiary education at UNE, where she earned a Bachelor of Science with Honours and a Graduate Diploma in Natural Resources. She's gone on to become an experienced executive and director, and put on the list of the world’s top 100 inspirational women in mining. Dr Guthrie serves on several boards including Santos; ABC Australia; Curtin University, where she is Pro Chancellor; and the WACA - Western Australian Cricket Association, where she is deputy chair. After high school, she'd sought to study environmental science. With UNE being one of the few universities in Australia at that time to offer a ‘pure’ environmental science course in the Bachelor of Natural Resources, the decision was made. Vanessa moved from Sydney to live in Robb College then become a townie. During the 1980s, UNE was recognised as one of the pre-eminent geology departments across the globe. I was blessed to have been able to study under such luminaries as Professor Dick Stanton, Professor Bruce Runnegar and Professor John Wilkinson, who were recognised as first among equals by their peers in the academic community. As I continued my studies in geology and environment, I became increasingly interested in the mining industry. While initially it was not in my plan, the mining industry certainly became a key focus for me as I came towards the end of my studies. Dr Guthrie says UNE was a unique stepping off point for my early career and after her studies in Armidale, she went on to complete her doctorate degree in geology in Tasmania. I have been very fortunate to live and work in many parts of Australia ... as well as globally in France, Germany, UK and now on the board of a global mining company, Tronox Holdings PLC. Dr Guthrie strives to make positive changes to the people and companies that she works with. I have been inspired throughout my career to make a difference to the companies I work with by challenging thinking, looking for better ways to do things and helping people be the best they can be. All companies are dependent on their people, so that is the starting point for creating value from the assets they own. UNE Alumni Robb College Alumni UNE Science UNE Geoscience

14.01.2022 Happy World Tourism Day! This day was started to help spread awareness about the importance of tourism on the social, cultural, and economic status of locatio...ns around the world. We know you might not be able to go very far right now, but we’d love to see a photo of a special place you’ve found (whether in your own backyard or further afield). We’ll start the beautiful blossoms on the Armidale UNE campus.
