Nicknamed the 'Oscars of Science', the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are Australia's premier science awards and one of this year's shining stars was Murdoch University.

In every partnership, the ability to REFERENCE the success of the partnership is important. This is done by mutually agreeing evaluation criteria and "exit strategies". The success of a partnership can be measured through benchmarks and targets, which should be in place at the commencement of the partnership. The measures become the legacy of the partnership and provide a way to describe its success.
