About the Innovation Campus

The Innovation Campus (iC) is being developed by the world-class University of Wollongong in conjunction with industry leading construction partner, Baulderstone. iC's first building, iC Central, opened in mid-2008, followed by the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM) and the Institute for Transnational and Maritime Security (ITAMS) in 2009. The Sydney Business School and Digital Media Centre will open in 2010 while a second AIIM building and a commercial building (iC Enterprise 1) are under construction and will be completed in 2011.

To be developed in stages, the campus will provide a total of 135,000 sqm of gross floor area over the 33 hectare site for research and office space; retail and service facilities; hotel and conference centre and residential accommodation.

iC was established with seed funding from the New South Wales State Government and has ongoing support at the Commonwealth, State and Local government levels.
iC is a long term project that will span 10-15 years and upon completion some 5000 people will be part of iC's working community of business and research enterprises.

2nd Asia-Pacific Symposium on Nanobionics (Relevant Symposium to SSIT)

Professor Gordon Wallace will be holding the 2nd Asia-Pacific Symposium on Nanobionics at the Innovation Campus 9- 11 June. The field of NanoBionics - the merging of biology and electronics using the most recent advances in nanotechnology promises to revolutionise this exciting area. The potential implications for health and medical research and the increased quality of life for patients are highly significant. To achieve such goals there is a need to bring together clinicians, scientists, engineers and mathematicians in a collaborative environment. The purpose of this symposium is to provide that forum. http://www.electromaterials.edu.au/news/symposium2010june.html

Research at the Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention (CTCP) examines the nature of organised cross-border criminal activities that affect regional and global security, including terrorism, human trafficking, money-laundering, cyber crime, and identity fraud. CTCP researchers represent a variety of disciplines, and their research seeks to improve global understanding of the causes, dynamics and manifestations of these threats and to address detection and prevention strategies for governments, law enforcement agencies and nongovernmental organisations.
