Adelaide University has started a podcast series that brings together its vice chancellor and external guests to discuss the part universities will play in addressing major global changes.
Why the timing stands out for South Australian listeners
The series arrives while Adelaide continues to position itself as a centre for research and higher education, with local institutions responding to shifts in technology, sustainability and community needs. Residents in the city have watched the university expand its public outreach through digital platforms, giving people here direct access to conversations that once stayed inside academic circles.
The podcast, called AU in Conversation, focuses on topics that affect daily life in Adelaide, from economic trends to environmental challenges. Its format allows experts to explain how university work connects to practical outcomes for households and businesses across the state.
What the content covers and how to follow it
Episodes examine the broader contribution universities make to solving problems that matter locally, such as energy choices and health research. The series is hosted by Vice Chancellor Professor Nicola Phillips and draws on the university's recent public updates to frame each discussion.
Listeners can access the full set of episodes through the Adelaide University website. The material is presented without requiring specialist knowledge, making it suitable for anyone in Adelaide who wants to stay informed about the direction of local higher education and its links to wider issues.
Further episodes are expected to build on the same approach, continuing the university's effort to share its work with the wider community in South Australia.
