Congratulations to Gladstone's Toolooa State High School which has won the finals of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Australian National Chemical Analysis Competition.

Toolooa progressed to the finals after competing in the annual Royal Australian Chemical Institute CQ Regional Schools Titration Competition, hosted and coordinated by CQUniversity in August.

CQUniversity Brisbane recently hosted a visit by Chinese education agents, as part of a familiarisation tour to the city hosted by Brisbane Marketing.

This tour was part of the Brisbane Ambassadors for Life project, funded by the Commonwealth Government's TQUAL grant, which Brisbane Marketing won at the end of last year.

The Indian Association of Central Queensland has expressed thanks for CQUniversity sponsorship which helped make its annual Diwali Night a success.

CQUniversity Associate Professor Ross Shepherd recently gave an invited presentation at the 2010 Queensland Workshop on Frontiers in Statistical Genetics and Genomics.

The workshop was organised by the QUT Collaborative Centre for Data Analysis, Modelling and Computation and was held at the QUT Kelvin Grove campus.

Regional universities should ‘challenge elitism' and consider amalgamation with the vocational education sector.

That's according to Professor Graham Pegg, who has experienced the potential of dual-sector campuses in the Northern Territory.

More than 20 Year 11 science students participated in an extended learning program at CQUniversity Rockhampton recently (Oct 26).

Students from Rockhampton State High School, North Rockhampton State High School, Glenmore State High School, Yeppoon State High School and Heights College attended.

CQUniversity researchers have recently completed a study for Rocky's Own Transport Company, seeking the best way to calculate, report and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the trucking industry..

Rather than being fixated on short-term survival of mining towns, planners should take a 20-year view about what they need to become enduring and desirable places to live..

CQUniversity Gladstone consistently attracts student visitors from across Australia for its specialised residential schools, with the latest being on Asset Management Systems.

More than 24 participants are expected at a three-day event (Nov 8-10), including some from as far afield as Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

Welders, boilermakers, fitters, forces personnel and other technicians may be interested in attending a training course in non-destructive testing to be hosted by the Process Engineering and Light Metals (PELM) Centre at CQUniversity Gladstone.

Course assessment by the Australian Institute of Non-Destructive Testing leads to a nationally-recognised qualification.
