Sheffield hosts Griffith University leaders to mark WUN membership

Sheffield welcomes Griffith University leaders to celebrate their new WUN membership and explore collaborations in advanced manufacturing and innovation.

Three ±¬ÁÏTV colleagues stand alongside two colleagues from Griffith University in the Firth Court gardens and smile towards the camera.

We were delighted to host Griffith University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Carolyn Evans, and Vice President (Global), Marnie Watson, at the ±¬ÁÏTV this week. The visit celebrated Griffith's new membership in the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) and highlighted a long-standing partnership, as Griffith is one of our more established Australian exchange partners and a popular study abroad destination for our Law and International Business Management students. 

Griffith's Vice-Chancellor showed a particular interest in our approach to innovation, including the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and Northern Gritstone. We were delighted to provide a tour of the AMRC Factory 2050 to showcase potential opportunities for future collaborative research.
