The Global Energy Institute
While the alliance is diverse in its offerings, Aberdeen and Curtin are situated in the energy capitals of their respective continents, and both universities have established themselves as leaders in energy-related research. The alliance’s Global Energy Institute aims to capitalise on this shared strength and foster excellence in energy research and teaching.
It plans to create a world-recognised and industry-preferred institute, to build critical mass in infrastructure, students and academics. It will deliver elite energy-related research, education and ongoing professional development.
It will leverage the respective market strengths of both universities – Aberdeen’s presence in Africa and Europe and Curtin’s presence in Asia – to provide a unique and extensive range of services and courses.
The universities have complementary expertise and interests, which they will be able to bring together to respond to challenges and opportunities around the globe, transcending boundaries.
The institute represents a new, deeper and more lasting way of working together to build research capacity and to deliver tangible benefits for students, staff and industry partners of both universities.
