Professor Paul Wellings CBE Vice-Chancellor THIS IS WHO WE ARE 3 OUR HOME: THE UNIVERSITY WE BUILT 4 UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG The University of Wollongong (UOW) was born from a community hungry for higher learning—a community that worked side by side with visionary academics, becoming an independent institution in 1975. In less than 40 years UOW has become a benchmark for Australia’s new generation of universities: dynamic, agile, innovative and prominent in national and international rankings for the quality of our research and teaching. UOW routinely rates among the top Australian universities in key performance areas including teaching quality, graduate satisfaction and graduate starting salaries. Many of our researchers are leaders in their fields, nationally and internationally, while our research institutes have important global collaborative partnerships. Our home is the coastal city of Wollongong—80km south of Sydney, on Australia’s east coast. We have two campuses in Sydney, as well as four in the South Coast and Southern Highlands regions of the state of New South Wales. With 25,500 students and more than 2000 staff in Australia, our activities generate around $2 billion in economic activity annually, making UOW a major economic force. UOW has been the catalyst for Wollongong’s transformation into a university city with a clear focus on developing 21st century “knowledge economy” industries based on technology and innovation. We have a strong international focus with the flourishing University of Wollongong in Dubai celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2013. We also have a long history of successful off-shore course delivery in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand. Over 112,000 UOW alumni are making their mark on the world, from chief executives of global mining companies to senior government ministers and leaders in business, IT, engineering, the arts, science, medical science, law, education and much more. OUR VISION To be a leader in ideas and solutions, a community of campuses and partners where discovery, learning and technology connect to transform people and the world we live in.

  • Dr. Edmund Goh Edith Cowan University, Australia Email: [email protected]
    e-Review of Tourism Research (eRTR), Vol. 18, 1, 2020 http://ertr.tamu.edu Dr. Edmund Goh Edith Cowan University, Australia Email: [email protected] Emerging Scholar Profile My name is Dr Edmund Goh. This is my personal reflection as an emerging scholar. Currently, I am a Senior Lecturer in Hospitality and Tourism Management, School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University, Australia. I obtained my Master by Research (Goh, 2007) from the University of Wollongong in 2007 under the principal supervision of Professor Sara Dolnicar and PhD (Goh, 2015a) from the University of Queensland, Australia in 2015 under the principal supervision of Professor Brent Ritchie. I am immensely grateful to both supervisors who have been great role models and mentors in helping shape my research career as an emerging scholar. Both mentors have always set the bar high and only expect the best and nothing less. This basic principle has anchored into my research career to strive for research excellence through impactful quality research. The decision to embark on a PhD journey was one of the greatest things that happened in my life. It can be best described as a bittersweet vicarious feeling of being overly ambitious of trying to solve all world problems in 80,000 words. At the beginning, I was not fully aware of the intensity and discovery of knowledge involved in gaining such an understanding would entail. As the PhD journey progressed, little did I realised how much I didn’t know, and the inflated confidence started to create self-doubt. This is where good supervision and critical reflections are essential.

  • University of Wollongong (UOW) Welcomes the Opportunity to Provide Input in Response to the Senate Select Committee Inquiry Into Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas
    Submission: Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas Senate Select Committee September 2019 INTRODUCTION The University of Wollongong (UOW) welcomes the opportunity to provide input in response to the Senate Select Committee Inquiry into Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas. UOW is supportive of Government policy and programs which support, encourage and help to generate regional development, innovation and, new employment opportunities. UOW actively supports the economic development and sustainability of regions across NSW through the provision of its Wollongong and regional campuses, and the delivery of initiatives such as the Innovation Campus (iC), iAccelerate, innovative manufacturing facilities, and the development of its Health and Wellbeing Precinct. UOW is deeply embedded in the Illawarra community and is committed to helping grow an innovative region, transitioning the Illawarra from conventional manufacturing to more advanced technology and creating a high- tech industry cluster. Wollongong’s transformation is an excellent case study of how universities can work with local councils and other stakeholders across their region to create new jobs and industries, modernise economies and accelerate smart-city transformation. This Submission broadly addresses key elements of the Committee Terms of Reference by demonstrating the important role UOW is playing transforming the Illawarra and other regional areas in which it operates, in the generation and application of new ideas and, its capacity to educate people to meet the needs of the future workforce. In doing so, it seeks to demonstrate the role universities such as UOW can play in implementing government policy initiatives which encourage innovation and support the transition of regions into new industries and areas of employment opportunities.

Even regular visitors to China are continually astounded at the rate and quality of China’s advancement. It seems that every few months China’s landscape visibly changes as it improves the living standards of its vast population by developing and implementing technologies and infrastructure to provide energy, water, housing, health, transport and other services that many other countries take for granted, but which in China have only recently become practically available on a large scale. The energy, creativity and dynamism required to implement such massive change is immense, but Chinese Universities, Industries and Central and Provincial Governments are determinedly rising to these challenges. Welcome to the Engineering Comprehending the scale of China’s achievements and ambitions is not an easy matter.
