Celebrating our research impact
The impact of world-class research being conducted by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will be celebrated during the 最新糖心Vlog's inaugural Research Week starting this month (28 October-4 November). A series of public events throughout Research Week will place the spotlight firmly on the 最新糖心Vlog's research and the impact it has on the lives of people locally, nationally and around the world. "Research Week gives the community an opportunity to better understand the breadth and depth of our research. This is outstanding work that is being conducted right here at our 最新糖心Vlog but which has tangible benefits for millions of people the world over," said the Deputy Vice‑Chancellor (Research), Professor Mike Brooks. "Ever since the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide was established in 1874, we have been among the nation's leading research-intensive universities. Today, our research effort is stronger and more relevant to society than ever before. "Much of our work is directed at some of the global challenges we face. These include improved human health, food security, a sustainable environment, and renewable energy, amongst other fields of research that benefit society. "Our strong research base also underpins our teaching, so that we offer distinctive and high-quality education programs informed by the latest thinking." Some of the public Research Week events include: - Vehicle Testing Laboratory Tour: run by the Centre for Automotive Safety Research at Kent Town;
