The '''University of Adelaide''' (informally '''Adelaide University''') is a [[public university]] located in [[Adelaide]], South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. The university's main campus is located on [[North Terrace, Adelaide|North Terrace]] in the [[Adelaide city centre]], adjacent to the [[Art Gallery of South Australia]], the [[South Australian Museum]] and the [[State Library of South Australia]].
 +
 +
The university has four campuses, three in [[South Australia]]: North Terrace campus in the city, Roseworthy campus at [[Roseworthy, South Australia|Roseworthy]] and [[Peter Waite (philanthropist)|Waite campus]] at [[Urrbrae, South Australia|Urrbrae]], and one in [[Melbourne, Victoria]]. The university also operates out of other areas such as [[Thebarton, South Australia|Thebarton]], the [[National Wine Centre of Australia|National Wine Centre]] in the [[Adelaide Park Lands]], and in [[Singapore]] through the Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre.
 +
 +
The University of Adelaide is composed of five faculties, with each containing constituent schools. These include the Faculty of Engineering, Computer, and Mathematical Sciences (ECMS), the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of the Professions, and the Faculty of Sciences. It is a member of the [[Group of Eight (Australian universities)|Group of Eight]] and the [[Association of Commonwealth Universities]]. The university is also a member of the [[Sandstone universities]], which mostly consist of colonial-era universities within Australia.
 +
 +
The university is associated with five [[Nobel laureates]], constituting one-third of Australia's total [[Nobel Laureate]]s, and 110 [[Rhodes scholars]]. The university has had a considerable impact on the public life of [[South Australia]], having educated many of the state's leading businesspeople, lawyers, medical professionals and politicians. The university has been associated with many notable achievements and discoveries, such as the discovery and development of [[penicillin]], the development of [[space exploration]], [[sunscreen]], the [[Tank|military tank]], [[Wi-Fi]], [[polymer banknotes]] and [[X-ray crystallography]], and the study of [[viticulture]] and [[oenology]].
 +
 +
==Commercialisation==
 +
The University of Adelaide has capitalised on opportunities to commercialise its research. The university has the highest volume of commercial research agreements of all Australian universities. It engages in extensive contract research and collaborative work in conjunction with local and international companies, as well as federal, state and local governments. This activity is managed by the university's commercial development company, Adelaide Research & Innovation Pty Ltd (ARI).<ref>https://www.adelaide.edu.au/planning/statistics/pocket-stats/2017pocket_stats.pdf|publisher=University of Adelaide|title=2017 Pocket Statistics|access-date=17 July 2017}}</ref>
 +
 +
Some examples of recent influences to the university's teaching and research priorities are the [[Defence Science and Technology Group]] (DSTG; previously the [[Defence Science and Technology Organisation]], or DSTO) in Adelaide's northern suburbs to which the university provides many psychology, physics, engineering, and IT graduates; and the growth in South Australia's wine industry, which is supported by the Waite and [[National Wine Centre of Australia|National Wine Centre]] campuses producing [[oenology]] and agriculture/[[viticulture]] graduates.
 +
 +
In addition, the university participates in the [[Auto-ID Labs]], a network of seven research universities in the field of networked [[radio-frequency identification]] (RFID) and emerging sensing technologies.
 +
 +
In August 2019, [[Primary Industries and Regions SA]] (PIRSA) and the [[South Australian Research and Development Institute]] (SARDI) entered a partnership with the university, in which scientists in diverse disciplines will be able to access PIRSA's research farms share their academic knowledge to the agricultural sector. The collaboration is anticipated to help develop SA's expertise in [[dryland agriculture]], by encouraging [[multi-disciplinary]] research and help to bring about new export opportunities.<ref>http://www.stockjournal.com.au/story/6332558/state-uni-partnership-drives-dryland-ag-research-forward/</ref>

University-of-Adelaide-Crest.png
Formation1874
HeadquartersAdelaide, Australia
110 Rhodes Scholars

The University of Adelaide (informally Adelaide University) is a public university located in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. The university's main campus is located on North Terrace in the Adelaide city centre, adjacent to the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum and the State Library of South Australia.

The university has four campuses, three in South Australia: North Terrace campus in the city, Roseworthy campus at Roseworthy and Waite campus at Urrbrae, and one in Melbourne, Victoria. The university also operates out of other areas such as Thebarton, the National Wine Centre in the Adelaide Park Lands, and in Singapore through the Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre.

The University of Adelaide is composed of five faculties, with each containing constituent schools. These include the Faculty of Engineering, Computer, and Mathematical Sciences (ECMS), the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of the Professions, and the Faculty of Sciences. It is a member of the Group of Eight and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The university is also a member of the Sandstone universities, which mostly consist of colonial-era universities within Australia.

The university is associated with five Nobel laureates, constituting one-third of Australia's total Nobel Laureates, and 110 Rhodes scholars. The university has had a considerable impact on the public life of South Australia, having educated many of the state's leading businesspeople, lawyers, medical professionals and politicians. The university has been associated with many notable achievements and discoveries, such as the discovery and development of penicillin, the development of space exploration, sunscreen, the military tank, Wi-Fi, polymer banknotes and X-ray crystallography, and the study of viticulture and oenology.

Commercialisation

The University of Adelaide has capitalised on opportunities to commercialise its research. The university has the highest volume of commercial research agreements of all Australian universities. It engages in extensive contract research and collaborative work in conjunction with local and international companies, as well as federal, state and local governments. This activity is managed by the university's commercial development company, Adelaide Research & Innovation Pty Ltd (ARI).[1]

Some examples of recent influences to the university's teaching and research priorities are the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG; previously the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, or DSTO) in Adelaide's northern suburbs to which the university provides many psychology, physics, engineering, and IT graduates; and the growth in South Australia's wine industry, which is supported by the Waite and National Wine Centre campuses producing oenology and agriculture/viticulture graduates.

In addition, the university participates in the Auto-ID Labs, a network of seven research universities in the field of networked radio-frequency identification (RFID) and emerging sensing technologies.

In August 2019, Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) and the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) entered a partnership with the university, in which scientists in diverse disciplines will be able to access PIRSA's research farms share their academic knowledge to the agricultural sector. The collaboration is anticipated to help develop SA's expertise in dryland agriculture, by encouraging multi-disciplinary research and help to bring about new export opportunities.[2]
