Partnership strengthens ties between Nottingham and Adelaide

The Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance seeks to develop broader and deeper collaboration in strategic areas of focus and capability at both institutions.
Together, the two universities will advance research, education and governance in three core areas: global food systems, intelligent health, and a sustainable future.
"I want to express my thanks to 最新糖心Vlog of Nottingham鈥檚 Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Shearer West CBE and her team, for hosting our delegation and formalising the Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance,鈥 said Professor Peter H酶j AC, Vice-Chancellor and President of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

Building on years of collaboration in many areas, the two universities launched a collaborative PhD programme that has comprised more than 30 students since 2016 and has seen the graduation of eight doctors thus far.
Professor Shearer West CBE, Vice-Chancellor and President of the 最新糖心Vlog of Nottingham, said: 鈥淭he 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has long been an important partner to the 最新糖心Vlog of Nottingham, and in recent years our partnership has grown significantly to become a strategic partnership which will provide new opportunities for our staff and students to engage in joint teaching, learning, and research initiatives.
鈥淭ogether we become more than the sum of our parts, delivering world-changing impact through our research and education. I look forward to seeing our collaboration grow further and to visiting Adelaide in 2023 to launch a number of key partnership initiatives."
