ABC News Future Forum
"The clever country: can universities meet the challenges facing regional Australia?"
Screened on ABC News 24 on 9 December 2012. The program can be viewed on the ABC website and includes a separate audience Q&A.
Regional Australia faces challenges on all fronts including environmental changes, global competition, a technological divide, skills shortages and a ‘gap’ in educational outcomes. Our regional universities are potentially a major force in confronting and overcoming these challenges. What might they need to do? How might they need to change?
The six Vice-Chancellors from the universities of the Regional Universities Network answered questions such as these in an ABC News 24 Future Forum broadcast shot in Ballarat.
RUN Chair Professor David Batterby, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ballarat, published a separate opinion piece on The Conversation canvassing many of the issues raised in the Future Forum.
