The Invest in UK University R&D – Midlands Campaign will be leading a major mission to parts of Australia, including Cnberra, Sydney and Melbourne. This mission will aligned with Universities Australia activity in Canberra and have a focus on AUKUS, Aussie Supers, Midlands Mindforge and Agri-Tech. As part of this mission we will:

• Celebrate and strengthen the connections between our institutions, Australian university partners, and key industrial stakeholders operating across both the UK and Australia.  
• Explore shared priorities for defence, connect Australian alumni in key sectors and venture capital with our university investment opportunities. 
• Advance the role of universities in ‘sub-national diplomacy’ between cities/ States/ regions and form innovation bridges through partnership working with each other, industry and civic partners.  
• Explore alignment with emerging Australia-UK science and innovation collaboration.
