Welcome to the first edition ofOrigins which profiles Australiasnewest university.

Established in November 2003, Charles DarwinUniversity is a place for fresh thought, bold visionand renewed focus. The first step has been to

develop a new framework for the institution and wehave been heartened by the support and input fromour stakeholders in making sure we build the rightframework to deliver outcomes for the Territory.

The energy and enthusiasm that Charles DarwinUniversity is harnessing in finding knowledgesolutions is inspirational and we have only justopened for business.

With campuses and study centres located across theNorthern Territory, we offer opportunities beyondwhat is normally expected of a University. Weprovide pathways into a broad range of courses intraditional areas as well as specialist areas unique toour location including tropical and desert studies andIndigenous research and education.

For a place steeped in Aboriginal tradition andculture which enjoys a close interaction with thepeoples of Southeast Asia, our location affordsboundless research opportunities to create localknowledge with global applications.

We are a University that dares to be different. Wewelcome researchers, teachers and students whoare prepared to take on challenges and arecommitted to making a difference.

This first edition of Origins provides a snapshot ofthe diversity and strengths on which we are buildingthe new institution.
