Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Hope you found time to enjoy the autumn outdoors over the long weekend. We had sad news last week with the passing of Bernie King, a former and foundational technical staff member of EME (seen above). While he retired from ANU almost a decade ago, many will remember his great willingness to help staff and students alike. His funeral will be held on Thursday, April 28, 1:30pm at Norwood Park Crematorium.

Those submitting requests for Strategic Research Funding support of LIEF bids from the DVC(RI) can speak to their Heads today for guidance on School support. The requests are due with College Research Office by 5pm today.

In the next few weeks I plan on opening up the new building for a general walk through. I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy the short week. I'll be travelling with Prof Mark Knackstedt (MP) and Dr Victor Pantano (BEC) in Perth this week but will be available by email.

Cheers,
Tim
