Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance
A strategic partnership between world-leading research institutions
The Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance (A-NA) builds on years of collaboration in research and education between the University of Adelaide and the University of Nottingham.
The alliance sees our long-standing friendship develop into a strategic global partnership, deepening our commitment to work together to address the challenges shared by Australia and the UK and our partners across the world.
The Adelaide-Nottingham Alliance draws on the capabilities of each university and areas of our shared expertise. We will develop the next generation of students with a truly global mindset. Our alliance will increase the impact of our research at local, regional and national level and further opportunities for wider international collaborations.
We are excited to be part of this global approach.
Nottingham and Adelaide are working together to address the world’s great challenges, including how to secure sustainable, nutritious food supplies in the face of climate change and population pressures.
Our researchers share expertise on improving the quality of sustainable, healthy, plant-based food. An Aus$2.5m facility at the University of Adelaide is expanding a partnership with the University of Nottingham-based International Flavour Research Centre and is supported by a major investment by v2food, a global leader in plant-based alternatives to meat.
Professor of Food Chemistry and academic lead for the International Flavour Research Centre, Ian Fisk said: “Due to the globally interconnected nature of our food supply chain, we need to work together to identify sustainable alternatives in our diet to ensure a safe, reliable supply of high-quality nutritional foods that consumers enjoy.”
