Collaboration in action
-
Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance
The听Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance (ANA)听builds on years of collaboration in research and education between the 成人大片 and the University of Nottingham. The Alliance sees the long-standing friendship between the two institutes develop into a strategic global partnership, deepening both institutions' commitment to work together to address the challenges shared by Australia, the UK and partners across the world.

Plants for Space
The 成人大片鈥檚 ARC Centre of Excellence听 (P4S) 7-year goal is to enable humans to survive and thrive in Space through developing new plant forms, products, and uses, and leading a global community that transforms plant performance and sustainability, on and off Earth.
European partners include the University of Cambridge, University of Nottingham, Research for Agriculture, Food and Environment - INRAE, ETH Zurich, Vertical Future, and Yuri.听
A collaborative project that will prototype controlled-environment-agriculture systems for Low Earth Orbit, involving P4S and led by UK company Vertical Future, is set to receive $3 million in funding. The project, also supported by the Australian Space Agency and NASA, is aimed at delivering a fully autonomous agriculture system to the world鈥檚 first commercial space station. Constructed by Axiom, the space station is due to be in orbit by 2026.
Recently,听P4S also sent its first payload of duckweed into space on board a sounding rocket launched by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) as part of its MAPHEUS 15 mission.

CROSSING Lab
The 成人大片 hosts the Australian-French International Research Laboratory (IRL) for听Humans-Autonomous Agents Teaming (CROSSING), which is focused on developing new ways for humans to work with robots and autonomous systems.
听is a partnership between the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the 成人大片, Flinders University, the University of South Australia, IMT Atlantique, and Naval Group. It is one of only five industry-linked CNRS IRLs in the world, and the first of its kind in Australia.
Research at the CROSSING Lab is focused on artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, technology, human factors and psychology, and will directly contribute to the development of hi-tech industries such as space, manufacturing, and mining.
Outcomes from this research could provide significant advances in the way operators use control systems on ships, maintenance platforms in industry, or services to assist within the home, and the way these systems are developed to assist and improve human performance to make work safer and more efficient.

Study Tour: Estonia
The听Digital Security Study Tour听to Estonia is part of a collaborative research project between the 成人大片 and the Tallin University of Technology (TalTech).
During this tour, students participate in active cyber security exercises and meet with key government officials and leading cyber security research and development teams in the private sector in Estonia - a post-Soviet powerhouse in digital government and operational cyber security.听Students also attend a Cyber Security Summer School organised through TalTech and have extensive opportunities to collaborate on research projects with Estonian colleagues.

Dassault Syst猫mes
The 成人大片 has developed a close partnership with French 3D experience company听听(DS) to enhance the focus of its curriculum on digital technologies and support innovative collaboration in cutting-edge research and education.听Dassault听Syst猫mes鈥 South Australian听regional centre听is co-located on the University鈥檚 North Terrace campus, and is the first Dassault听Syst猫mes鈥 office to be established at an Australian university.听
Since the partnership began in 2018, approximately 1,500 students each year use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to undertake digital design, simulation, collaboration and project management across a range of courses from first year through to honours engineering and higher degree research projects.

Joint PhD
The 成人大片 has Joint PhD Programs in Europe with the听University of Nottingham, UK, and the听, Germany.听
Pharmacist Dr Laurine Kaul, recently graduated with a jointly-awarded PhD from the 成人大片 and UFR in medical specialties and pharmaceutical technology.
鈥淎s both universities offer different experiences during a PhD, the Joint PhD is the perfect opportunity to gain a variety of skills and knowledge. I learned how to write grants, was given many opportunities to win awards, build collaborations and do lab visits at the 成人大片, while I was involved in the teaching process, supervised undergraduate students, and developed industry connections at the University of Freiburg.
鈥淭his Joint PhD has inspired me to continue my career in research and I have now started my own research group at the University of Freiburg. I only obtained this position because I did a Joint PhD and could show that I have international experience, previously established collaborations, and experience working in multiple research fields.鈥

Rewriting history
An international research team, including scientists from the 成人大片, has found evidence of human occupation in Europe almost 10,000 years earlier than previously documented, a听discovery听that stands to rewrite modern human and Neanderthal histories on the continent.
-
Future biodiversity
An听international team of scientists, led by researchers from the 成人大片 and University of Copenhagen, has examined past warming events similar to those anticipated in the coming decades to better understand how species and ecosystems will cope.听
-
Improving IVF success
In a听world-first, 3D holographic images of an embryo have been developed as part of a collaborative research project between the 成人大片 and University of St Andrews. Optical technologies hold immense promise to unravel the metabolism and health of an embryo, with this gentle, non-invasive approach potentially leading to improved IVF success.

Treating blood cancer side effects
Researchers from the 成人大片 and the Radboud University Medical Centre in the Netherlands have听repurposed an arthritis drug听to restrict the use of antibiotics in the treatment of side effects caused by blood cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
-
Cyber security
The 成人大片, in collaboration with the Australia Cyber Collaboration Centre (Aus3C) and local businesses in the cybersecurity industry, have been working together to prepare for Australia鈥檚 participation in , run through the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn, Estonia.
This annual exercise 鈥 the world鈥檚 largest and most complex international live-fire cyber exercise - enables cyber security experts to enhance their skills in defending national IT systems and critical infrastructure under real-time attacks.
Australia first participated in this initiative in 2023 through the Partner Run. The function of the Partner Run is to test the Game Day scenario, systems and technology before the main event. The Partner Run is a crucial component of the full-scale exercise and many of the teams in the Partner Run train for up to six months.
