The Warren Centre is an independent, industry-linked institute committed
to fostering innovation in advanced engineering throughout Australia.Over the past 12 months, The Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering has been undergoing a renewal process. We have a whole New Executive Team and Board Leadership Team.
An important part of this renewal process has been a review of how we communicate with that special group who are ‘the friends of The Warren Centre’. I am proud to be able to introduce the new The Warren Centre website which has added functionality as well as reflecting the new ‘look and feel’ of The Warren Centre’s publications and other communication materials. We have also restructured our regular newsletter so that we can give you more immediate information on the issues that are concerning our professions.
The Warren Centre is an independent body. We use a robust collaborative process and our extensive networks in academia, industry and government to find solutions and answer questions in an increasingly complex economic, technical and social environment.
Over the past 25 years we have called on more than 10,000 volunteers to help identify innovative solutions to problems which have been exercising the minds of the engineering, government and other professions.
Please join us in this quest.
