Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance

A strategic partnership between world-leading research institutions.

The Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance (ANA) builds on years of collaboration in research and education between the University of Adelaide (UoA) and the University of Nottingham (UoN).

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.

The Alliance draws on the capabilities of each university and areas of shared expertise to increase research impact at local, regional and national levels, train the research leaders of tomorrow, and further opportunities for wider international collaborations.

Collaboration themes

With UoA and UoN’s world-leading strengths in food, sustainability, and health research, the Alliance will expand collaboration across the themes of Global Food Systems, Sustainable Futures, and Intelligent Health through research, mobility, and education activities.

Each theme draws on the unique research ecosystem resulting from the combined capabilities and infrastructure across the two universities. Theme leads engage colleagues and build relationships with industry and other stakeholders to identify and respond to opportunities that deepen the impact of our innovations in these areas.
