A night out for industry

An inaugural industry event was hosted on Wednesday October 3 to showcase the Faculty’s capability to act as a research solutions provider for industry problems.

Discovering Science and IT at the University of Newcastle saw a number of important members of industry come together with academics from each school. A selection of short presentations from each discipline gave a brief snippet of information on how industry could benefit from collaborating with researchers at the University.

Representatives from a wide range of external companies including Austrade and HunterNet had an opportunity to meet and greet with academics in their relevant area and share their own ideas for new collaborations.

The event was sponsored by Newcastle Innovation and is already being heralded a success by those who attended.
