Australian VIPs Visit Robert Gordon University

Senior politicians from the Northern Territories Government in Australia and staff from Charles Darwin University (CDU), including the Vice-Chancellor, are to visit Robert Gordon University (RGU) today (26 May) as part of a fact finding trip aimed at establishing Darwin as a research and training hub for the oil and gas industry in Australia and south-east Asia. RGU was chosen by CDU due to RGU's strong links with the oil and gas industry, both in the UK and overseas.

The Hon. Paul Henderson, Chief Minister of the Northern Territories government and Professor Barney Glover, Vice-Chancellor of the Charles Darwin University will hear at first hand how Robert Gordon University works with businesses in the North Sea.

In addition, the two universities will sign a memorandum of understanding under which they will work together in research and teaching to the benefit of both organisations.

Professor Ferdinand von Prondzynski, Principal of Robert Gordon University said, "RGU has a proven track record of working with business and we are delighted to be able to share our experience with our colleagues from CDU.

Australia is an increasingly important country and region, and there are significant opportunities for us in developing partnership arrangements with CDU."
