The University of Newcastle is proudly continuing its commitment to engagement in the Pacific region, with representatives signing an official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) in Samoa this week. As part of the five-year agreement, both parties will work together to address critical needs in clean energy and coastal resilience through research and training.

The University of Newcastle has officially unveiled technology capable of harvesting up to 1000 litres of drinkable water per day – from air.

Catastrophic flooding on the scale of what’s playing out in Queensland and NSW will become more likely as our planet warms, climate scientists warn.  That’s why this year’s International Women’s Day theme - Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow – is so critical and so worthy of our full attention.
