Cooperation with partners and stakeholders is the key to success for ACGR as an organisation and this Update reports on several important and ground breaking collaborations that we have recently established. As I write this I am in the UK about to present the ACGR perspectives at the UK Council of Graduate Education Conference, our Executive Officer and members are preparing to address the Australian Deans of Science and another presentation to the Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities is also scheduled.
