ANDS began » that research collaboration is vital to crack some of the its life as a visionary component of the Nation’s major challenges facing humanity in the twenty-fi rst investment in e-Science. Commencing as part of the century – energy, climate change and health being just three examples. Australian Government’s NCRIS initiative (the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy), Bringing these two ideas together means we have to fi nd new ways to capture and share data across Australian (and ultimately global) involving an investment of $542M over the years research and data producing agencies to ensure relevant, high- 2005-2011, ANDS funding of $24M lies within the quality data is accessible to researchers anywhere in the system. Platforms for Collaboration capability within NCRIS. To do this, we have to be able to create accessible repositories The decision by the government in its May budget to add and facilitate access to their holdings. This is a non-trivial task $48M from the Education Investment Fund to pursue that requires us to address such questions as: how can data be the ANDS objectives through its “Super Science” captured and stored in such a way as to make its retrieval and initiative has further demonstrated its commitment re-use as effi cient as possible? to e-Science. I’m very pleased that three research institutions, understanding implicitly the importance of the initiative, agreed to partner to ANDS rests on two critical underpinning ideas: form ANDS: Monash University, ANU and CSIRO. Monash, in » that data is an increasingly important component of the particular, has long been a leader in this domain and it has been research enterprise as new means of data capture and very important to the initiative that their expertise has been at the storage (sensor systems, high performance computing forefront of the development of ANDS. modelling outputs, data repositories etc) become available.

The formation of ANDS from the University of Queensland, the New South Wales Department had important contributions from many others including the of Health, and the University of South Australia. My role is that of members of the Program Management Committee (Paul Bonnington, an independent Chair.

  • Time for a Western Australian ‘Group of Three’? a Speculative Essay
    AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES’ REVIEW Time for a Western Australian ‘Group of Three’? A speculative essay Michael Turner & Alistair Brown Curtin University This study analyses the theoretical cost-savings that might flow from a merger of three of Western Australia’s five universities. The results of the study show that an amalgamation would not only reduce costs of operation, but also improve non-current asset use and accountability. Combination reporting also allows the key stakeholders to appraise these universities’ main financial activities, which appear to be maintaining a relatively high level of non-salary expenditure as a percentage of revenue and preserving a very high percentage of land and buildings as mainstay assets. Keywords: mergers, efficiency and effectiveness, Western Australian universities Introduction Most of Australia’s first universities were founded in the 19th century in other states (although the University of This paper explores the potential cost savings from Queensland was founded in 1909), with the University of a creation of a Western Australian Group of Three Western Australia (UWA) founded in 1911 but opened in university (WAGo3), via an amalgamation of three of the 1913.

  • Here from There—Travel, Television and Touring Revues: Internationalism As Entertainment in the 1950S and 1960S
    64 Jonathan Bollen Flinders University, Australia Here from There—travel, television and touring revues: internationalism as entertainment in the 1950s and 1960s Entertainments depicting national distinctions attracted Australian audiences in the 1950s and 1960s. Touring revues from overseas afforded opportunities to see the nations of the world arrayed on the stage. Each of the major producers of commercial entertainments in Australia imported revues from Europe, Africa, the Americas and East Asia. Like their counterparts in Hong Kong and Singapore, entrepreneurs in Australia harnessed an increasing global flow of performers, at a time when national governments, encouraged by their participation in the United Nations, were adopting cultural policies to foster national distinction and sending troupes of entertainers as cultural ambassadors on international tours. In this article the author explores the significance of internationalist entertainment in mid-20th century Australia, focusing on Oriental Cavalcade, an “East Meets West” revue from 1959 which toured with performers from Australia and Asia. At a time when television viewing was becoming a domestic routine and international aviation was becoming an affordable indulgence, producers of internationalist entertainments offered audiences in the theatre experiences of being away from home that were akin to tourism and travel beyond the domestic scene. Jonathan Bollen is a Senior Lecturer in Drama, Flinders University, Australia Keywords: variety, revue, aviation, tourism, travel, television, internationalism desire to create a national theatre for Australia gathered momentum A in the late-1940s and eventually gained traction.1 Government support for the performing arts was introduced with the establishment of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust in 1954 and the subsequent founding of new national opera, theatre and ballet companies and the National Institute of Dramatic Art, while government investment in venues for the performing arts Popular Entertainment Studies, Vol.

They are where we forge our understanding of ourselves and the world around us – and our place in a forward-looking nation. Our universities educated more Australian students than ever before in 2019 – over one million Australian and 450,00 international students. Almost 340,000 students graduated that same year. Our universities offer courses in natural and physical sciences, information technology, engineering, architecture and building, agriculture and environmental studies, health, education, management and commerce, society and culture, creative arts and food hospitality and personal services. Universities are constantly adding new disciplines of study that reflect changes in industry, society and workplaces. Through them, they seek to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist. Australia relies on our world-class university research to find solutions to the biggest challenges and to grasp the most promising opportunities. University expertise, ingenuity and innovation help to develop new industries and new jobs that will shape Australia’s future. Through collaborations with business, university researchers help them solve their toughest problems and bring their ideas to fruition. Through this research, education and community engagement, universities improve the lives of individuals, families, communities, and the nation. Thirty-nine outstanding universities are members of Universities Australia and this, the 2021 edition of University Profiles, is your guide to all of them.

  • Perceptions and Expectations of Authorship: Towards Development of an E-Learning Tool Facilitating Discussion and Reflection
    21 Perceptions and expectations of authorship: Towards development of an e-learning tool facilitating discussion and reflection between post-graduate supervisors and candidates Michelle Picard1†, Kerry Wilkinson2 and Michelle Wirthensohn2 Adelaide Graduate Centre, University of Adelaide1 School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, University of Adelaide2 Abstract This paper describes an online flexible learning project aimed at Higher Education by Research (HDR) Candidates and their supervisors to encourage discussion around issues of authorship. The project was developed in response to the new Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research which requires discussion between all participants in a project followed by a “written acknowledgment of authorship”. However, despite providing guidelines on the definitions of authorship and the responsibilities of authors and institutions, this document does not address the inherent unequal power relations when one of the authors is an HDR candidate and another a supervisor. In addition, more ambivalent issues such as order of authors which could potentially be a source of considerable conflict between supervisors and HDR candidates are not addressed. In order to engage fully in authorship discussions, HDR candidates require both knowledge of authorship protocols and the ability to negotiate within the supervision relationship. Since supervision is a particular type of pedagogy where the aim is the development of ‘competent autonomy’, the supervisor’s role is to model and foster negotiation skills along with ethical behaviour. In order to develop HDR candidate’s reflective practice and negotiation skills towards the attainment of this autonomy, an online questionnaire which ascertains the opinions of HDR candidates and their supervisors around various authorship issues and their reasons for their answers is proposed.
