    australian universities g u i d e Published by the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission Canberra - 2008 ABSTRACT The purpose of this publication is to inform the esteemed Ministry of Higher Education on the wide array of universities in Australia. While Australia is a new arena for Saudi students, it is also an exciting one as the potential for academic relationships are established and Australia is given exposure to Saudi culture and its expanding academic research in the Kingdom. This publication lists a map of Australia and the geographical spread of Saudi students. In addition, this is followed up by a table of the universities with most Saudi students in descending order. The format layout of the universities is designed to give a page-by-page brief yet detailed summary of the strengths of the universities in question and how the universities describe and project themselves. On the left is a column of the current university's vice-chancellor, chancellor, director of public relations, contact details, website and campus locations. It is the purpose of this publication to include all 38 universities in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the higher education sector in Australia. This certainly will help guide the Saudi Ministry of Higher Education and respective Saudi Universities in making decisions for the benefit of Saudi Arabia's higher education and its citizens studying abroad in Australia. The Cultural Affairs Department of the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission wishes to thank the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee, Universities Australia and all universities for their assistance and material in making this publication possible.

  • Adc Leadership Retreat 27 – 29 August Building Resilience
    ADC LEADERSHIP RETREAT 27 – 29 AUGUST BUILDING RESILIENCE Resilience theory, first introduced by Canadian ecologist C.S. ‘Buzz’ Holling in 1973, begins with two radical premises. The first is that the world is a complex system, where seemingly independent components often interact in subtle, important ways. The second is that the long-held assumption that systems respond to change in a linear, predictable fashion is simply wrong. From these premises the theory models what it calls ‘complex adaptive systems’, which are dynamic and self organising. Evidence increasingly shows that many systems historically assumed to be independent, to be stable and to exhibit predictable growth patterns are in fact better fitted to the ‘complex adaptive systems’ model. A key feature of complex adaptive systems is that they exist in one of a number of different equilibria and, in certain circumstances, switch between them very quickly. Studies of resilience focus on the tipping points between different states. They look at gradual stresses, such as climate change, as well as chance events—things like storms, fires, even stock market crashes—that can tip a system into equilibrium, from which it may be difficult to recover. How much shock can a system absorb before it transforms into something fundamentally different? How can we change a system to produce enduring positive change? These are the central questions resilience theory seeks to answer. Resilience theory gives us a framework for understanding the global crises of the past decade. It can also help us understand why we failed to see them coming and how we might predict them in the future.
