'Top business accolade for SA’s collaborative university' Nov 2008
Professor Lee said just one example of UniSA’s ongoing efforts could be
seen in Adelaide’s northern suburbs where UniSA had been engaged in
developing social capital through its work in the UniSA Northern Areas
Partnership program.
“This program has been active now for more than six years working with
individuals, companies, schools and colleges, local, state and federal
government and organisations such as the Northern Adelaide Manufacturing
Industry Group to network and build capacity through education, mentoring
and research,” he said.
“This collaboration is a great example of how universities can play a vital
role in empowering communities, promoting equity and improving employment
and productivity across a whole community in partnership with businesses and
industry stakeholders.”
