KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 26, 2023 \u2013 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has formalized a research and education partnership with Australia\u2019s Flinders University that advances AUKUS, a security partnership signed by the governments of the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s agreement with Flinders will bolster Australia\u2019s efforts to produce the skilled workforce it needs to deliver on the AUKUS security pact, which includes a phased approach to build Australia\u2019s undersea capability through the acquisition of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe 溏心vlog免费B站 is known for its global engagement and its enduring legacy of service to the state, nation, and world,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President Marc Parlange. \u201cOur researchers are committed to addressing the most pressing issues facing our global community. This research partnership with Flinders University will advance our strategic priorities to collaborate globally; create connecting points for communities, companies, and government agencies; and drive innovation that has a meaningful impact on society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement, signed by Parlange and Flinders University President and Vice Chancellor Colin Stirling, positions 溏心vlog免费B站 as the United States\u2019 university leader in support of AUKUS and opens the door for collaborative research and education programs, information sharing, relationship building with government and industry, as well as the potential for joint events and workshops\u2014all intended to drive innovation in support of AUKUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine program is an unparalleled advanced manufacturing opportunity that will be Australia\u2019s biggest defense investment,\u201d said Stirling. \u201cFlinders University is internationally recognized as a leader in advanced manufacturing capability at our innovation campus at Tonsley in Adelaide, South Australia\u2014home to the world\u2019s first fully integrated Factory of the Future and Technical College. Our historic partnership with the 溏心vlog免费B站 complements our strengths in modern manufacturing and brings some of the world\u2019s best nuclear education and research programs to Australia. Flinders looks forward to working with the 溏心vlog免费B站 and our UK partner, the University of Manchester, to create a nuclear research and education network that supports our nations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flinders University, located in Adelaide, South Australia, is a leading international university in Australia with a record of excellence and innovation in teaching and research, supporting a long history of collaboration with defense and industry. Its noted capability in the defense sphere spans maritime engineering, digital engineering, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology, robotics, cyber defense and electronic warfare, and reskilling. As the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s hub in a global innovation ecosystem, Flinders University is home to the Factory of the Future advanced manufacturing research and test facility developed in collaboration with BAE Systems Maritime Australia and the South Australian and Australian governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement between the two universities is the culmination of a two-day visit during which representatives from Flinders toured 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston and Narragansett Bay campuses and met with 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty members and researchers, as well as representatives from the U.S. Navy, and 溏心vlog免费B站 partners at MITRE and MIT\u2019s Lincoln Laboratory, to discuss upcoming opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a big part of continuing to make sure the AUKUS agreement has a legacy that endures. If you build the research base and the student workforce flowing in from all countries, it will become self-sustaining. By building that relationship and that workforce exchange now, at the early research stage, we can ensure we have the technology development base to support those submarines over their lifetime, into the next century,\u201d said Jason Gomez, chief technology officer, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport. \u201cNewport has a long history working with the 溏心vlog免费B站 and with Australia, so to be able to expand our research base to universities in Australia is a benefit for the whole community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jay Lustig, multi-domain business operations manager at MITRE, added, \u201cMITRE has made a commitment to Australia and has opened a new facility there. We have a longstanding relationship with the 溏心vlog免费B站 and are looking forward to building one with Flinders, so seeing this relationship between the two universities recemented is really fabulous. We look forward to working together with the entire coalition to strengthen the industrial base both here and in Australia and to expand capabilities into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
溏心vlog免费B站 is known globally for its strength in oceanography and ocean engineering, which includes notable defense-focused university-industry partnerships and a collaboration with the U.S. Navy. It is home to 401 Tech Bridge, an economic development program that connects manufacturers, small businesses, research and development entities, trade organizations and state and defense agencies to collaborate in the development of new advanced materials, technologies, and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
溏心vlog免费B站 is also home to the National Institute for Undersea Vehicle Technologies, a university-industry partnership in collaboration with the University of Connecticut and the U.S. Navy to advance the capabilities of the next generation U.S. undersea fleet through innovative workforce training and by accelerating the research, development, and transition of key enabling technologies. In addition, 溏心vlog免费B站 hosts the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center and the University\u2019s Bay Campus is home to one of only 25 university-based nuclear reactors in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The memorandum of understanding coincides with an agreement between Flinders and the University of Manchester, the lead university in the UK\u2019s Nuclear Technology Education Consortium, which will deliver its nuclear master\u2019s and doctoral-level research training in South Australia to build capacity to meet industry needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
