AIP BRANCH NEWS

摘要

Some 65 innovators gathered on Wednesday the 26th September at the Penrith campus of The University of Western of Western Sydney (UWS) to take part in Physics Industry Day, 2001. This was the third Physics Industry Day held by the NSW Branch of the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) and was a joint meeting with the Innovative Technology Network (ITN) of UWS. This year's Industry Day was particularly successful because it attracted about 25 participants from private industry and provided plenty of opportunity for them to interact with some 35 researchers from all University Physics Departments in NSW, CSIRO and ANSTO. Twelve talks on a wide variety of R & D projects were presented during the day with time in between talks for proactive discussion and viewing a variety of posters and innovative products. Ph.D students representing all Physics Departments in NSW presented posters on their respective applied/industrial research projects and took part in a competition, with a $1000 first prize, for the research work judged to be the most innovative. For entry into the student competition the project undertaken was required to be applied physics research with possibility of commercial development.
