LR: Mr Justin Murphy, Prof Bruce Campbell, Ms Jean Fenton, Mr Joe Morrison. 20 Supporting Australias Northern Territory Training in regional and remote areas is an important responsibility for Charles Darwin University. Over the past three years, training in remote areas has grown to encompass delivery at more than 100 locations across the Northern Territory. The University is adopting an approach to remote training based around completion of skills audits that identify training requirements in a given community, matching those requirements to individual and community needs, and then designing appropriate programs. This approach facilitates the foundation of partnerships with communities, partnerships that see the University assisting communities in adopting Commonwealth policy changes. Building upon its experience and linkages, the past three years have seen the University commence a number of targeted research programs with the aim of developing solutions relevant to operations in, services to and sustainable development of rural and remote communities. The announcement in 2006 that the University will host a major research team as part of a multi-million dollar initiative focusing on Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRACK) is an example. The TRACK research hub will bring together over fi fty leading tropical-river and coastal researchers and managers from ten agencies across Australia to focus on the sustainability of rivers and catchments from Cape York to Broome. Throughout its fi rst three years, Charles Darwin University engaged with the local and national community on important issues through two Charles Darwin Symposia each year. Symposia topics are selected to address important issues for the region, and are closely linked to University research activities. Past topics have included Creative Tropical City, The Living Desert, 20:20 Vision: Facing health challenges of the next 20 years, and Imagining Childhood: Children, culture and community. In 2006, one symposium examined issues related to people and the environment in the tropics, including climate change, threats to the biosphere and emerging infectious tropical diseases in the South-East Asian region. The other symposium examined the broader issue of creative citizenship. In a similar vein to the symposia, the University has forged a unique partnership with the Yothu Yindi Foundation under the auspices of Garma, the Top End celebration of Indigenous culture and two-way knowledge sharing, taking on the coordination of the academic forum component in 2005 and 2006. Garma is recognised as one of the largest Indigenous cultural events in Australia. The University is well positioned to offer expertise and a commitment to supporting Indigenous knowledge systems while providing an environment where Indigenous learning opportunities will be continually encouraged and enhanced. Forum themes in 2005 and 2006 have been Indigenous cultural livelihoods and Indigenous education and training, respectively. Speakers from across Australia travel to Garma to share knowledge and ideas to an audience of over 2,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants.
