Education & research
Re-engineering education and research for the future is critical for the growth and prosperity of our society.
Yet, our universities, schools and research organisations are facing major challenges and disruptions, threatening their viability and relevance into the future. Technology is changing at a rapid pace, infrastructure is ageing, operating costs are increasing, stakeholders are more demanding and funding sources are becoming scarce, challenging us to think differently and creatively about the future.
We need to acknowledge the ‘elephant in the room’ and challenge ourselves to identify solutions for how to balance growth and sustainability to ensure a society that continues to be enriched through engineering knowledge and advisory insights.
It is only fair that our children, the future shapers of our world, should ask, what’s stopping us ‘eating the elephant’? That is, why aren’t we moving fast enough and with conviction, towards an education and research sector that can both survive and thrive?
It’s time to re-engineer education and research to ensure we are embracing the inevitable changes and exploiting the opportunities ahead, to remain relevant for future generations.
Aurecon is uniquely positioned to assist our education and research clients to re-engineer their organisations for the future. With a future ready mindset, we are constantly scanning the horizon for the next generation of technological, environmental and societal changes.
This enables us to have a bigger role to play beyond the traditional engineering service offerings, helping our clients to redesign their businesses to minimise risk and maximise opportunities. We co-create with our clients a more sustainable future through:
We deliver through collaboration and co-creation – understanding our clients’ challenges, prototyping, testing and refining to arrive at the best solutions, always ensuring it is enjoyable and rewarding for everyone – we refer to this as Bringing Ideas to Life through The Aurecon Experience.
Aurecon is an engineering, design and advisory company, but not as you know it. We’ve re-imagined engineering. We provide services beyond the usual, understanding that like us, our clients need to think holistically and creatively about the future.
With so much uncertainty, how can organisations and employees prepare for what may or may not come next?
Aurecon shares insights on how we can design smart, sustainable and safe workplaces to accommodate new ways of flexible working from home or the office after COVID-19.
