Last week, we launched two new GeoEnergy Laboratory facilities focused on advancing research, education and innovation in energy sustainability 🔬⚡

The GeoEnergy and Storage Laboratory is located at our Adelaide City Campus and will enable high-resolution analysis of how CO₂ and hydrogen can be safely stored in geological formations, supporting the future of low carbon energy.

The Geomodelling Laboratory recreates Earth processes such as landscape change and plate tectonics, supporting research, education and outreach from primary school through to university level 🌋🪨

These facilities will help drive cutting-edge research in energy security and sustainability, made possible through the support of the SA Government , bp, Chevron, and Beach Energy.

The launch brought together leaders from across industry, research and government, and we look forward to the discoveries ahead 🚀

Congratulations to three Adelaide University students who will spend several months in Southeast Asia expanding their leadership skills through the Westpac Australia–Asia Fellowship 🌏

Alecia Gee, a PhD student working in green chemistry, Lily Bosland (Bachelor of Arts/Language) and Thomas Neville (Bachelor of Business/Commerce) are among those who have been awarded fellowships this year.

They will now participate in a nine-month leadership program, which includes two residential programs across four Southeast Asian countries.

For Alecia, it’s an opportunity to build connections across the region and explore solutions to shared challenges.

“I believe Australia’s biotech industry has much to gain by leveraging the strengths and infrastructure of our Asia-Pacific trading partners,” Alecia says.

“I’m particularly interested in understanding how these collaborations create value, and how I can apply those insights to shape my research and career.

“I also look forward to connecting with like-minded students and professionals who share a passion for leveraging Australia’s position within the Asia-Pacific.”

We are proud to celebrate the opening of the Kaurna Yarning Circle at Waite Campus today 🖤💛❤️

More than 100 attended the event which began with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by proud Kaurna men Luke Wilson and Rivva Karpany.

With solid foundations in respect for culture and community, this is the second Yarning Circle to have opened at Adelaide University - Tirkangkaku this year, complementing our first at Roseworthy Campus, which opened in February.

The Yarning Circle’s features include a form of the screens which, collectively, spell out the word KAURNA in capital letters.

We look forward to seeing this beautiful space grow and thrive in the years to come, as a place for gathering, storytelling, learning, and connection.

Over 500 students and staff came together this week at Pridham Hall to mark the end of Ramadan, Islam’s most holy month, and to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 🙌

We extend our warmest wishes to students, staff, partners and friends who celebrate Eid. We acknowledge this year’s celebration has come during a time of uncertainty and anguish for many in our community, as the conflict in the Middle East escalates, and encourage anyone affected to connect with the University’s wellbeing services.

We invite all in our community to come together to reflect on the messages of unity and connection that Ramadan represents 💜
