The latest episode of AU in Conversation is here 🎙️ 💜

Vice Chancellor and President Professor Nicola Phillips is joined by Professor Craig Batty and Professor Anna Goldsworthy to discuss the future of the humanities and their renewed relevance in a rapidly changing world.

How can universities ensure the humanities continue to thrive alongside technological change? If we are to address the world's most pressing problems, how do we move beyond seeing the humanities as "nice to have" and recognise them as a game-changing part of the solution?

Craig and Anna bring unique perspectives to these questions. Craig is the University's Pro Vice-Chancellor, College of Creative Arts, Design and Humanities. Anna is Dean of the Elder Conservatorium of Music and School of Performing Arts, an acclaimed author and concert pianist 🎵📚

Under a landmark agreement announced today, SAHMRI and Adelaide University will unite their health and medical research capabilities, establishing one of the world’s most advanced research corridors along Adelaide’s North Terrace 🙌

Adelaide University will become the sole governing Member of SAHMRI, to create a stable, enduring governance foundation for the future. The move will reinforce SAHMRI's standing as a leader in health and medical research, while retaining its globally recognised brand, identity and operational agility.

We share a bold ambition to leverage world-leading interdisciplinary research capabilities to drive new discoveries and deliver real-world impact for the communities we serve.

As Australia’s newest World Top 100 University, we look forward to harnessing these synergies to shape the future of health and medical research together.

The latest episode of AU in Conversation is here 🎙️ 💜

Vice Chancellor and President Professor Nicola Phillips is joined by Professor Helen Marshall AM to discuss vaccination – a topic that became one of the most debated issues of the COVID-19 era.

Vaccination rates appear to have been falling since the pandemic, as once-conquered illnesses make a return and new threats, such as bird flu, emerge.

How did we get here? Why did some members of our society become distrustful of science during the pandemic, and how prepared are we for the next one? How can universities help?

Professor Marshall is uniquely placed to address these questions as professor in vaccinology in the Adelaide Medical School – Adelaide University, and a former South Australian Scientist of the Year, Australian of the Year (SA), and South Australian Woman of the Year who has spent her career helping translate vaccine trials and evidence into public health policy.

It’s another big topic that could not be more relevant today.
