Research Futures // Nick Pagett

Research Futures is a series of video interviews with Charles Sturt’s Vice-Chancellor, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and senior academics by Virginia Haussegger AM, an award-winning television journalist, writer and commentator. Research is, and will always be, vital to Charles Sturt’s social purpose - to generate world-class applied research to help foster prosperous communities across New South Wales.
Charles Sturt aims to be the leading regional university known for solving real-world problems and enhancing the quality of life of regional Australians. This extract is taken from Nick Pagett’s interview conducted with Virginia, where he discusses the development of Charles Sturt’s AgriPark which is modelled on international best practices and committed to circular and digital agriculture. This historic investment in demonstration facilities and research and commercial capability has been purposively codesigned with industry, government and community partners to generate innovative products and services that support regional development goals.
The Gulbali AgriPark will provide a living and virtual dashboard of what works in agri-innovation and will be a beacon of best practice emulated across Australia.
