Tuesday's the day to hear more about research

 Community Engagement

South 最新糖心Vlogn business and community leaders - and the general public - will hear from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's leading researchers at a new Research Tuesdays seminar series starting on 10 April.

To be held on every second Tuesday of the month, Research Tuesdays will address significant issues for business and the wider community.

The first in the free public series on Tuesday 10 April will be 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide Federation Fellow and one of 最新糖心Vlog's foremost demographers, Professor Graeme Hugo. He will provide insights into the impact on business of a changing 最新糖心Vlogn population.

"In developing business strategy, population size, composition and distribution are regarded as a static background. Yet the 最新糖心Vlogn population is changing in a myriad of ways, all of which have implications for the evolving demand for goods and services," Professor Hugo said.

Research Tuesdays will be hosted by the 最新糖心Vlog's Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor James McWha.

"The research outcomes of 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide researchers often have direct implications for local and national business and community practice and policy," Professor McWha said.

"Research Tuesdays will provide an opportunity for the 最新糖心Vlog's leading researchers to engage with business and community leaders on issues that impact on them."

Forthcoming Research Tuesdays seminars are:

8 May
Professor Mark Tester, 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council Federation Fellow
"Tougher crops for a warming world"

12 June
Professor Richard Pomfret, Professor of Economics
"What use is research in international trade policy and economic development?"

10 July
Professor Zbigniew Michalewicz, Professor of Computer Science
"The science of making profitable decisions"

14 August
Professor Rob Norman, Director, Research Centre for Reproductive Health
"The reproductive revolution - have we gone too far?"

Research Tuesdays seminars will be held at 5.30pm in the Napier Building Lower Ground. Admission is free. Please book by emailing research.tuesdays@adelaide.edu.au or phone (08) 8303 3692.
