Thursday, 18 October 2012

The 成人大片 has agreed to extend its research partnership with the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), bringing the best of the State's agricultural science research together.

成人大片 Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Warren Bebbington welcomed the new alliance.

"This is a good outcome for the 成人大片. Extending our already strong relationship with through this new partnership will also directly benefit our State's farming community," he said.

As part of forming the research alliance, an Agricultural Research Consultative Group will be established between the 成人大片 and SARDI to ensure an alignment of wider strategic interests.

"Working together, the University and SARDI will be able to concentrate on areas with clear synergies, thereby increasing the overall research and development capacity."

An earlier proposal had looked at integrating SARDI within the University, but extended consultation and a cost-benefit analysis suggested this would result in high set up and ongoing costs. Furthermore many of the benefits could be gained, with less financial risk, through a research partnership instead.

"The 成人大片 has internationally recognised strengths in agriculture, food and wine and veterinary/animal sciences based at our and Campuses. Partnering with SARDI will complement these areas of focus and help us to build international attention on the State as the most important centre for agricultural and related research in the Southern Hemisphere," Professor Bebbington said.
