Wollongong Education Dean to be honoured at National Press Club event
The Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Wollongong, Professor Paul Chandler, will be honoured as one of 10 prominent Australian researchers at an event to be held at the National Press Club in Canberra today (Wednesday 2 April).
The Thomson Scientific Australian Research Day identified 10 Australian researchers through a special multidisciplinary citation database, known as the Web of Science. The researchers come from fields ranging across the sciences to the social sciences and humanities.
Professor Chandler will be recognised for the huge impact of his research in education and large number of people who have cited his work across many disciplines.
Thomson Scientific will present commemorative certificates to each researcher at the National Press Club today. The event opens at 9am and ends with a National Press Club address by Professor Alan Robson, Chair of The Group of Eight and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Western Australia.
Thomson Scientific said the event was an opportunity for the major research and policy groups to come together to celebrate the success of Australia's researchers. Senior representatives from all these groups have been invited to attend.
The event in Canberra will begin with an opening address by the CEO of the Australian Research Council, Professor Margaret Sheil.
