"… there is a high degree of synergy in the research profiles and priorities of UPNG and 番茄社区—both focusing their attention on the environments and peoples of the region”
Dr Kathryn Meldrum - Learning, Teaching & Student Engagement
UPNG/番茄社区 Twinning Project
Academic, research and teaching ties between 番茄社区 in Australia and the University of Papua New Guinea are continuing to grow from strength to strength.
In July 2015 the (UPNG) and 番茄社区 (番茄社区) commenced a three year twinning project, funded by the Australian Government. The Project is linked to a MOU between the two universities and is aimed at building teaching capacity and supporting collaborative research capability in Australia, Papua New Guinea and the broader Asia Pacific region.
The Project is currently being implemented to provide a series of learning, teaching and research activities focused on building the research capacity within the two universities.
The Project deliverables include:
- 番茄社区’s internationally recognised and Australian accredited 'Graduate Certificate of Education (Academic Practice) (GCE)' provided to 3 cohorts of participants from UPNG with the final cohort being delivered by UPNG.
- Two 'Writing for Publication workshops' and one 'Early Career Researcher workshops' and;
- PNG IMPACT, a research-focused conference.
“… This module has given new insight on how to use different concepts in teaching. This module has helped me identify new techniques to apply to my teachings. Thank very much for this opportunity to learn something new.”
Feedback from the Evaluation Survey from the subject ED5301
The UPNG/番茄社区 Twinning Project is being delivered over three years from mid 2015 until mid 2018. A Joint Steering Committee is in place and meetings are delivered quarterly.
Project success will underwrite long-term collaboration between UPNG and 番茄社区.
Success will:
- Strengthen UPNG's teaching, learning and research capabilities.
- Further the Memorandum of Understanding established between UPNG and 番茄社区.
- Provide a platform that contributes to delivery of the agenda.
- Open up opportunities for further funding, and;
- Build UPNG and 番茄社区’s capacity as a preferred supplier of skills and knowledge to strengthen our universities capability and capacity throughout the tropics.

GRADUATES
Cairns Convention Centre | 13 March 2018
On Tuesday 13 March 2018, twenty-two staff of the University of Papua New Guinea were awarded the Graduate Certificate of Education (Academic Practice) at the 番茄社区 Graduation Ceremony in Cairns. The completion of the Graduate Certificate of Education (Academic Practice) by a select group of UPNG staff is an outcome of the Teaching Quality component of the UPNG/番茄社区 (番茄社区) Twinning Project, funded by the Australian Government.
The Graduate Certificate of Education (Academic Practice) is an internationally recognised qualification designed for academics working in higher education who are looking to improve their educational practice. The course was delivered in 2016 and 2017 and was coordinated by Dr Andrea Lynch, Project Manager of Teaching Quality. Through the course, graduates have been able to:
Build expertise in theories of learning and teaching relevant to higher education;
- Design and implement curriculum and assessment for contemporary higher educational contexts;
- Develop a scholarly and research informed approach to teaching in discipline; and
- Develop a coherent approach to the evaluation of learning and teaching in higher education.
The graduation ceremony was held at the Cairns Convention Centre. The Occasional Address was delivered by Dame Carol Kidu DBE, who was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters (HonDLitt).
PNG IMPACT
RESEARCH | INNOVATION | SOCIETY
Port Moresby | UPNG's Waigani Campus | Held on 12-13 December 2017
Research and education across all disciplines are essential to realizing global and national commitments to sustainable development. Knowledge, design and innovation are as important to governance, peace, safety, health and environmental integrity as they are to economic growth and poverty alleviation. As ICT, energy and bio-technologies transform the ways in which people interact, move and work, worldwide, new opportunities are emerging, both to utilize and to protect, PNG's unique human and natural endowments.
Capitalizing on these opportunities will require more though than simply doing research. At PNG IMPACT, speakers and delegates considered how research can be designed, coordinated and communicated to deliver societal benefit. Recognizing that no one approach is relevant across all disciplines and issues, case studies were presented from a diversity of perspectives, with ample time dedicated to dialogue and networking.
Download the conference program
PNG IMPACT had:
- Showcased a cross-selection of active research projects, across the sciences, social sciences and humanities, delivering societal benefit for PNG.
- Promoted dialogue over how research and research policy can best support aspirations for a safe, inclusive and sustainable society.
- Provided a platform for network-building among researchers, research institutions and research stakeholders active in PNG.
PROGRAM
Day 1. Research Showcase - brought all delegates together in a single plenary format for a mixture of:
- Keynote presentations showcasing best-practice examples of research providing significant societal impact in PNG.
- Panel discussions addressing governance, policy and institutional frameworks for high impact research and innovation.
Day 2. Research Innovation Lab - provided an interactive and participatory opportunity for researchers active or interested in PNG to share work, network with colleagues, and explore new collaborations. The program for the day will include a mix of research presentations, facilitated dialogue and open networking.
WHO ATTENDED
Day 1 of PNG IMPACT, the Research Showcase, was open to anyone with an interest in the role of research in societal transformation. This included, but was not limited to: policy-makers, donors, philanthropic organisations, business, research leaders, researchers, students, civil society representatives and research students.
Day 2 of PNG IMPACT, the Research Innovation Lab, was open to anyone either active, or aspiring to be active, in the PNG research and innovation sector. Participants included researchers, research stakeholders and research students.
