Dear ExampleContactFirstName

Did you know that the statistics for post graduate students entering into the workforce in their chosen field of study is extremely low, the statistics for female post graduate students is even lower. The University of South Australia Future Industries Institute is working towards changing these statistics one of the initiatives put forward to improve this statistic is to start to combine research project ideas with industry needs.

Does your group or industry have a data gap or research area that you think would be a good research project for the UNISA school of Environmental Science and Engineering? - For example A new remediation product for an emerging contaminant.

UNISA are looking for a list of ideas or proposals from industry so they can pass these ideas onto their students for postgraduate work. In doing so the student begins to learn what industry needs in their field of study and the industry participant gets to work with the student and find a solution to the problem.

If you have any ideas or concepts that you would like researched in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering, please feel free to contact:
