>> Education is a human right and edX and our partners are looking to dramatically
increase access for learners all over the world.
We also wants to work with our partners to transform education, in quality and
scale, both on campus and also online.
>> International education is a very
important sector, which Curtin is a major player as is Navitas. It's a third
largest export dollar earner for Australia. Our relationship has been one
that's very strong, providing great opportunities for students both to gain
entry into university and succeed.
>> I'm so excited about our relationship with
Curtin because I believe very very very profoundly that the future of higher
education will come in major global partnerships.
>> I think there's
enormous potential for Curtin University through their partnership with Charles
Telfair Institute in the education and knowledge sector, not just for Mauritius
but for the continent of Africa. And Mauritius is of course a safe, secure,
stable environment in which students can come and undertake their learning.
It's visionary for Curtin to be here, to be working with CTI and to be helping to
educate the next generation of young African leaders.
>> The SKA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Australian Government. It's an
opportunity for Australia to build on one of its strengths in the form of
radio astronomy and to take its scientists to the world.
>> We have the best of relationship with Curtin University
and I honestly hope that we will continue and have such a good relationship in the future.
>> I think Curtin has a very positive impact for Australia's
reputation because it represents some of the best things about Australia. First of
all it's amongst the top two percent of universities globally, so it represents
excellence. Secondly it's an inclusive university, it's a multicultural university,
thirdly, it's focused on innovation,
it's forward-looking and optimistic about the world.
>> We've had a great partnership with Curtin over many many years now, we've
been involved in several research projects from working with children in
early intervention, through to school-aged children, through to adults.
It's a partnership of equals, we're not downwind of research, we're working together on
things that matter to our populations, to our families. And so I think that is really
really exceptional.
>> Well the grains industry was looking for a true part with regards
to pathology capacity across Australia, delivering for all Australian grain
growers. And Curtin had form and history in pathology,
in delivering for the grains industry. We already have significant molecular genetic information
coming out of the CCDM and it's only been going for a couple of years.
>> The partnership that we have with Curtin I would say,
it's one that I'm extremely passionate and excited about. It brings together three
very like-minded organisations who are focus on using innovation to make a
difference to society, to academia and to the business world.
>> So the innovation for
us is focused on the sort of connected devices in the field. So we look at
Innovation Central as a way for us to be able to have a testbed separate to
operations. A way for the innovators to push the boundaries in a safe, controlled manner.
>> Well our partnership with Curtin is
arguably one of our most important partnerships at the Football Club.
For Curtin it provides an opportunity for their students, which no other
educational institution can. They are an iconic institution. We believe we're
also an iconic brand and the opportunity for students to interact with an elite
sporting team, both at this facility and indeed at the new Perth stadium.
And our game is unique and also at Peel Thunder. So it's a benefit to us in terms of
accessing very bright young students here in Western Australia, but also for
students at Curtin to interact with an elite sporting team.
>> Curtin University provided a great platform for lots of Aboriginal leaders
and very successful Aboriginal people in all areas and walks of life. After 50 years
of being around, Curtin can rightfully be very proud of its contribution
to, not just the Aboriginal community here in WA, but the Aboriginal
communities all over Australia.
>> Curtin is there for indigenous people, it's there
for women and gender equality, it's there for people in lower economic and social
groups, and it reaches out to people of different ethnicity, different cultures,
different religions and puts it all together. And it's a matter of putting it
together and seeing the commonalities of discrimination that is, I think, one the great
achievements of Curtin University.
>> The WAIT endowment
scholarships committee was formed in late 2015 and it's comprised of a group
of like-minded individuals who want to give something back to WAIT or Curtin,
to recognise what Curtin and WAIT have done for their careers. The reason we
find our philanthropy important to IGO is that this creates a great
platform for us to be connected with Curtin and to be connected with the
population of students that progressing through University and making its way
through to industry.
>> I feel very honoured to be involved with Curtin University.
I think Curtin University's got a lot to be proud of in the way that it's built
an inclusive university with global reach but still with a focus on the
opportunities in the Western Australian economy. It really is a very interesting
mix to be a University of your place and making a difference to the state that
you're in, but still recognised around the world for the strengths of the
research and very much sought after as a place to study by international students.
