ANSTO has signed a strategic agreement with the Australian National University and sets the relationship between the two organisations, who collaborate on important projects, such as the fusion energy project ITER and space research, well into the future.
Prof Andrew Peele, Director, Nuclear Science and Technology and Dr Richard Garrett, Senior Advisor Synchrotron Science travelled to Canberra for the signing at ANU this month.
Professor Keith Nugent Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research signed the agreement on behalf of ANU.
"We have a longstanding relationship with ANU extending back many years, which will grow stronger with this formal agreement," said Prof Peele.
The agreement with one of Australia's leading research universities will facilitate more opportunities for access to resources and infrastructure between the organisations and enhance research in nuclear science, the nuclear fuel cycle, human and animal health, agriculture, manufacturing, minerals and the environment.
Historically, there have been important collaborations between ANSTO and ANU.
ANU and ANSTO experts have worked closely together on plasma diagnostics for the fusion energy project ITER
