CQUniversity Bundaberg is planning to host a 'Girls in Information, Communication and Technology' conference, from 8.30am-2.

CQUniversity research student Ricardo Santa and Management and Information Systems lecturer Mario Ferrer were awarded with the Industry Impact Award at the 9^th International CINet (Continuous Innovation Network) conference held in Spain recently.

The winning paper titled 'The Role of Cross-Functional Teams on the Alignment Between Technological Innovation Effectiveness and Operational Effectiveness' was chosen by a European industry panel for its relevance to industry.

Biloela High's Jordan Hoyland and Nikki Kitching are among early adopters of a CQUniversity program enabling secondary students to gain credit for tertiary study before leaving school. 

In fact Jordan was such an early adopter that the program had not even been fully developed (it's now known as SUN - Start Uni Now) when she started in Term 1 of 2007.

CQUniversity is part of a Queensland universities supercomputer consortium which will receive $8.5 million to boost the capacity for research projects requiring massive data-crunching.

The leap from Rockhampton's Pilbeam Theatre to London's West End may seem a big one but Alexis Coward has already taken large strides in her life.

Born in Dubai and schooled in England, Alexis has only been in Australia since the age of 15, so travelling back to the northern hemisphere will be less of a jolt.
