The late Professor Malcolm Chaikin AO OBE FTSE personified the impact that academia, learning and education can have on the world. His pioneering work in industrial waste treatment, recycling and desalination demonstrates the critical role that research plays in shaping wider conversations and action regarding critical issues – sustainability in this case. Chaikin’s story illustrates the importance and huge opportunities for universities to look beyond their own walls. In the context of increased competition across the sector, his focus on collaboration was markedly progressive.
Join us in person or online on Tuesday 31 October in Sydney to celebrate Dr Katherine Woodthorpe AO FTSE FAICD as our 2023 Chaikin Orator.
