Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Kim Carr will tomorrow in Canberra launch a new national research partnership between the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and The Australian National University.
The partnership between ANSTO and ANU will see the two institutions collaborate across research fields which underpin Australia’s capacity for international engagement in nuclear science and technology, including key accelerator facilities, future energy sources and nuclear non-proliferation.
The partnership will see a Memorandum of Understanding signed between ANU and ANSTO at the ceremony tomorrow. It will be signed by ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Chubb AC and ANSTO Chief Executive Dr Adi Paterson, and witnessed by Senator Carr.
The event will include a rare chance to take a tour of the University’s nuclear accelerator facilities. Please note, there is only space for one pool camera and one pool photographer to accompany the Minister on the tour of the facilities.
