Collaboration in action

Haide College

Located in Qingdao, China, Haide College is a joint education institute from the University of Adelaide and Ocean University of China. Delivering comprehensive joint degrees in mathematics, biotechnology, and food science and engineering, Haide College offers students access to a global education with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of their disciplines, better intercultural communication skills, and international connections that will facilitate their future careers.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University

The University of Adelaide has a long-standing partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), with established collaborations including joint professional appointments, a staff exchange agreement, a dual master’s program in winemaking and viticulture, and a joint PhD agreement.

The two institutes have also established multiple joint research centres, including the Australia-China Joint Research Centre of Offshore Wind and Wave Energy Harnessing. Since 2019, University of Adelaide researchers have also co-authored over 470 research publications with SJTU.
New Colombo Plan scholars

The New Colombo Plan is an initiative of the Australian Government to improve knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by helping Australian undergraduate students study and undertake internships in the region. The University of Adelaide has had a number of New Colombo Plan scholars in recent years, including Rhys Gaylard (Yonsei University, South Korea), Selina Tran (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Judah Tan (University of Tokyo, Japan) and Jocelyn Lee (Yonsei University).
World first training

University of Adelaide experts have delivered the world’s first remote sinus surgical training to surgeons in Japan. The course was conducted remotely, which allowed University of Adelaide professors to directly supervise Japanese surgeons from their lab at the Adelaide Medical School and give real-time feedback and instruction as they performed surgical procedures on 3D models in Japan.
Next generation communications

Researchers from Osaka University and the University of Adelaide have worked together to produce a new ultra-small silicon chip called a multiplexer, which is the key to the next generation of 6G communications and beyond.
Tokyo space enthusiasts remotely control Adelaide rovers

Young Japanese space enthusiasts have remotely controlled space rovers at the University of Adelaide’s Extraterrestrial Environmental Simulation (EXTERRES) Lab from the TeNQ Space Museum in Tokyo.

Professor Hirdy Miyamoto from the University of Tokyo is one of the world leaders in planetary geoscience and led the event from Tokyo. Professor Miyamoto has also been a key contributor to the University of Adelaide’s Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources’ education, research and outreach programs.

“Building relationships between universities through events such as this demonstrates the global collaboration that is fundamental in realising humanities future in space, and enables people to experience elements of space operations that will one day be commonplace,” said Professor Miyamoto.
