You can register to attend all or part of the day, or for sessions of interest to you. 

Students and professional services colleagues from both universities will share their experiences of spending time in Nottingham or Adelaide, supported by programmes designed to strengthen our partnership, share insights and skills and enrich our people’s experience and global outlook. 

Researchers from the Alliance’s research themes will highlight successes in the areas of Global Food Systems, Intelligent Health and Sustainable Futures. 

You will hear from participants on the Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance’s sector-leading Joint PhD programme, which allows researchers to spend at least a year in each location, benefitting from the expertise of world-leading supervisors and access to specialist research facilities at both institutions.    

We’ll also highlight opportunities with the alliance’s mobility and exchange programmes between our institutions, which are available to researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and now support staff and professional services colleagues. 

There will be opportunities for networking, discussion and exploring new friendships and collaborations between the universities of Adelaide and Nottingham.
