QMAG and CQU collaboration
We are thrilled to announce that, on Friday 5th April, Queensland Magnesia & CQ University signed a Memorandum of Understanding, to collaborate on future research, education & training opportunities.
As part of this new agreement, QMAG & CQU, will work together to enhance professional development and upskilling opportunities for existing QMAG employees, provide industry-based experiences to CQ University students, apply for research grants and funding and identify new opportunities for positive economic development and sustainability outcomes.
This will focus both of our organisation’s growth in engineering business, environmental science and sustainability, and safety sciences.
We look forward to this journey & thank CQU for the relationship that has been established!
