The portfolio has been expanded to incorporate innovation in order to strengthen our ability to innovate and to ensure we maintain and improve our competitive edge.
Professor Skrbis and his portfolio will be responsible for driving innovation and enabling transformational change across the University.
This will involve working with portfolios across ACU and overseeing innovation programs.
