Curtin links up for resources research

Curtin’s new partnerships with Chinese research institutions demonstrate confidence in the ability of the two nations to lead in the development of new, ‘green’ energy technologies. The University’s leading role in resources and energy research is also demonstrated by the new Curtin Resources and Chemistry Precinct that will be launched on November 13. The $116 million development is funded by Curtin, BHP Billiton, ChemCentre (WA’s flagship chemical science facility) and both the Federal and WA governments.
