35M and 100 Jobs for World-Class Plant Centre Adelaidean Volume 11 Number 5 News from the University of Adelaide June 2002 INSIDE Zooming in on Magnetic Dalai Lama: surveillance attraction man of peace? page 5 page 7 page 10 $35m and 100 jobs for world-class plant centre BIOTECHNOLOGY in South Australia has been given a major boost, with the University of Adelaide winning its bid to host the $35 million National Centre for Plant Functional Genomics. The world-class centre, to be based at the Waite campus, will lead to significant benefits for Australia’s $8 billion grains industry. The centre’s work will involve identifying and tracking the genes in wheat, barley and other crops that control tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought and salinity. Through molecular technologies, the centre will help develop plant varieties that are resistant to these environmental stresses, providing benefits for food production worldwide. The centre is expected to play a pivotal role in the growth of Australia’s agricultural bioscience industry and will help to maintain Australia’s commercial competitiveness in crop production. The centre will initially employ 100 scientists, with numbers to grow as it attracts new research grants and commercial investment. Funding for the centre includes $20 million from the Commonwealth ($10m each from the Australian Research Council and the Grains Research and Development Corporation), as well as $12 million from the State Government. An additional $3.6 million is being contributed by the three universities involved in the successful bid—Adelaide, Melbourne and Queensland—with further funding from the Victorian Department of Natural Resources and Environment. The new centre was announced last month at the Waite campus by the Minister for Education, Science and Training, Dr Federal Minister for Education, Science and Training Dr Brendan Nelson announces the new Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the Brendan Nelson, and South Australian Waite campus, as South Australian Premier Mike Rann, Vice-Chancellor Professor Cliff Blake and others look on.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE MAGAZINE WINTER 2002 INSIDE: Leadership New Vice-Chancellor bringing fresh impetus Innovation NASA & Professor Ian Young Relevance Stemming human suffering Partnership Petroleum School success New insight on refugees GLOBAL RELATIONSHIPS – INTERNATIONAL EVENTS LUMEN - The University of Adelaide Magazine Registered by Australia Post No 56500/00097 MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR elcome to the winter edition of Lumen, the biannual magazine that keeps you informed about what is W happening at the University of Adelaide. Regular readers will notice that this issue has a new look. The redesign gives the magazine a brighter, more eye-catching appearance that I hope will encourage more people to pick it up and read about the exciting research and educational developments at the University. As before, the content reflects the rich diversity of our endeavours. The feature story on asylum seekers presents a range of academic perspectives on one of the most contentious political issues facing Australia. Two successful Law graduates, Kym Taylor and Nicholas Owens, are profiled; the University’s involvement in the World Congress on Information Technology is documented; and there is a report on the generosity of Mr Raymond Ryce, who has provided $100,000 to fund specific research work by a PhD student at the University. This edition also provides updates on significant University initiatives. These include the opening of the new School of Petroleum Engineering and Management, the establishment of a new English Language Centre, and the launch of the Barr Smith Library fundraising appeal. On 5 August 2002, Professor James McWha will become the nineteenth Vice-Chancellor in the University of Adelaide’s 128-year history.
