The Times Higher Education Research Excellence Summit: Asia Pacific at UNSW Sydney challenged university leaders and researchers to better showcase how they are tackling the world’s major challenges.
Australia's next war will be fought on new psychological and technical battlegrounds, says UNSW Canberra Professor Greg Austin, who has identified 19 key gaps in the nation's civil defences.
A study of more than 500,000 surveys shows university students demonstrate bias against women teachers, and particularly women from non-English speaking backgrounds.
The biases experienced by some teachers vary according to their sex, background and faculty, according to a UNSW study of university student attitudes.
Globally renowned UNSW Sydney figures Professor Michelle Simmons and Sir Fraser Stoddart will be among featured speakers when UNSW Sydney co-hosts the Times Higher Education Research Excellence Summit: Asia-Pacific from 19-21 February.
