World class research to improve the brain health of Australians will be driven by a major new affiliation agreement confirmed today by Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and UNSW.
Marking a significant milestone for two constituent partners in the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct, the 10-year agreement was signed by NeuRA’s CEO, Scientia Professor Matthew Kiernan AM, and the Vice Chancellor and President of UNSW, Professor Attila Brungs.
For the first time, the agreement will create an Affiliation Council to forge deeper collaborations between NeuRA and UNSW and unlock significant co-investment in new research programs, better facilities and the strategic recruitment of academic and research staff.
