Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
It’s been a great week, one where we can all breathe a sigh of relief as a number of largescale activities wrap up. Firstly, my heartfelt thanks to all those educators who have finalised teaching for this semester. Teaching is a tremendously important part of our School culture and it’s wonderful to see such a huge School-wide contribution. Also, best of luck to those many people have been busily preparing to present their latest research at international conferences. And, a big thank you to all those who contributed to the Preliminary Sketch Phase of the building project. This stage is now complete and we’re entering the Final Sketch Plan stage. It’s at this point we will detail the specifics of our future working environment. Over the next few months we will all start to determine all the little details that will make our precinct an outstanding research environment into the future.
This inviting photo comes to us from Rarotonga. Kathy Hicks and Julie Arnold recently escaped Canberra for a well earnt holiday in the Cook Islands. Taken from outside their beach front hotel, I will leave it you to work out the owner of those very relaxed feet.
Safe travels for those heading off on school holidays, or overseas for northern conferences.
Best regards,
Tim |

RSPE and the ANU Global Challenges Scheme
Thank-you to those who attended the meeting last Friday on how Physics may get involved with the ANU Global Challenges Scheme. Of course, this is just the start of a process which has yet to be fully defined by the ANU, but it was terrific to hear so many ideas from the floor. Physics certainly has plenty to offer in terms of ideas, facilities, and expertise. For those not able to attend that meeting, a copy of the presentation given by Dragomir Neshev, on what we know about the scheme so far is available here.
At the meeting it was agreed that a small group consisting of Dragomir Neshev, Matthew Sellars, Jodie Bradby and Ken Baldwin will work together with the Director to act as a point of focus for the school on this topic.
More information to follow as it becomes available. |

ORCID
ANU encourages all researchers, including PhD students, academic staff and research-active professional staff, to register for an ORCID identifier and share your iD with us to assist in your research career.
This is a way to ensure that research information is attributed to the correct person and will eventually help with things like HERDC returns. Many publishers are also putting ORCID numbers into authorship lists of papers, so registering is really a no-brainer.
Training sessions
Training is available from the ANU Library including tailored presentations and general sessions.
