CDU has four major events for academics and scholars to present their work. They are:
Charles Darwin Scholar
Professorial Lecture Series
Austin Asche Oration in Law and Governance
Vincent Lingiari Lecture
These events range from featuring CDU academics through to awardees from around the globe who are experts in their relevant field.
Staying up to date with CDU news has been made easy. We have our online newsroom, where current news is found. We release our e-newsletter straight to your email inbox monthly, and we print and deliver our Origins magazine, twice a year.
Our Casuarina campus is home to Darwin's community radio station, 104.1 Territory FM.
Charles Darwin Scholar
The Charles Darwin Scholar Program is a biennial initiative established in 2013 to enhance Charles Darwin University’s links to the work and legacy of its namesake, Charles Darwin.
The Professorial Lecture Series provides an opportunity for CDU's academics to discuss their specific areas of interest, from ecosystems through to history.
This oration honours the service of Austin Asche AC QC to the people of the Northern Territory and his contribution to the law, tertiary education and to the community.
The Vincent Lingiari Memorial Lecture commemorates the Wave Hill Station walk-off led by Vincent Lingiari with his Gurindji people and other groups in August 1966 – a significant act by those involved as it was a catalyst for Aboriginal people, not only in the Northern Territory but across Australia, to have their rights to traditional lands recognised and for those lands to be returned.
Journalists should contact the media team for help in researching a story, obtaining expert comment from an academic, arranging a photo opportunity or for any other media enquiries regarding the University.
The media team can also assist with gaining permission to film on campus.
CDU welcome the opportunity to work with like-minded organisations that align with our strategic vision and core values outlined in our 2015-2025 Strategic Plan. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with our research work and academic areas before applying.
