Federal Minister for Science and Member for Gippsland, the Honourable Peter McGauran, and his Chief of Staff Greg Evans, met with the Vice-Chancellor Glenice Hancock and Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic and Research) Ron Davies this week.
Mr McGauran and Mr Evans later toured areas of scientific interest at CQU Rockhampton including the near infrared spectroscopy fruit sorting division, Centre for Railway Engineering and the Plant Sciences facilities.
The Minister was impressed by the diverse areas of scientific research being undertaken by CQU and how areas of research link with economic and environmental issues.
