Publication Collection Process - ANU Insight meetings

Research Services Division and Planning and Performance Measurement will again be running the publication collection process using the methodology developed for the HERDC and ERA collections in previous years. This means that ANU Insight will be used to coordinate and validate the research publication collection. This is an important exercise which contributes directly to the Excellence in Research for Australia 2018 assessment, and publications collected will also feed into the Statement of Academic Activity process.

Some of the students from the January NYSF returned for a closer look at ANU and spent the day in several different areas of the university. The session we gave was on “Einstein & Relativity” and included a range of activities from the “locked” Michelson Interferometer (thankyou Perry) to the Real Time Relativity Simulation and a new experiment to almost demonstrate the Doppler Effect!  Andrew Papworth
