Open Access and Research Conference 2013: Discovery, Impact and Innovation
Get PDFThe Open Access and Research Conference 2013, 31 October - 1 November, provided a vibrant platform for discussion about recent advances in Open Access and scholarly communication practices globally.
Since the previous iteration of the conference in 2008, a number of key reforms to academic publishing requirements have occurred, both in Australia and internationally. The adoption of national open access mandates reflects a common concern for delivering more efficient and broad-reaching research communication systems - a transition fundamentally underpinned by issues of access and dissemination. The theme Discovery, Impact and Innovation focuses on this transition.
**About the program**
Overall, the conference provided an opportunity to reflect on the progress of Open Access and to consider the strategic advantages these developments bring to the research sector more generally. The comprehensive program explored these issues as part of a two-fold approach, comprising
1.International 'round-ups' - covering the breadth of recent international initiatives. This includes commentary from the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.
2.Thematic sessions - focusing on specific areas of research and information management necessary to the advancement of Open Access. Such topics include advocacy, alternative metrics, data management and open innovation

William Robinson: The farmyards: 23 July 2013 - 08 June 2014
Get PDFFOREWORD
It has now been four years since the official opening of
the William Robinson Gallery at Old Government House,
located at the Queensland University of Technology
(QUT) Gardens Point campus, and we at QUT are very
pleased to launch our sixth exhibition, William Robinson:
The farmyards. Although mostly known for his landscape
paintings, William Robinson's farmyard paintings are
among his most loved works. The 'farmyard' period
began in the early 1970s when the Robinsons moved to
Birkdale, a semi-rural suburb in the bay area south east of
Brisbane. During this time, an array of farm animals and
family pets, including cows, goats, ducks and chickens,
became enduring subjects of Robinson's paintings.
William Robinson: The farmyards is the first comprehensive
exhibition of this period. It celebrates the artist's
whimsical take on his environment and explores a unique
painting style and vision that has underpinned Robinson's
practice for over four decades.
The exhibition includes many artworks that have been
recently acquired by QUT’s William Robinson Collection,
including the exquisite Untitled 1985 pastel work, donated
by QUT’s Associate Professor Glenn Thomas in memory
of his wife Robin; Four cows 1979, one of the first painting
experiments by Robinson in the oval cow-portrait format,
acquired through the William Robinson Acquisition Fund;
and the artist’s first Archibald Prize for Portraiture entry,
William and Josephine 1982–83, donated through the
Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program.
With the opening of this new exhibition, QUT has also
taken the opportunity to dedicate a gallery space to
display the newly acquired Blue pools, Beechmont
to Springbrook 2000. Acknowledged as one of the
artist’s most important works, Blue pools is the most
significant acquisition of a single artwork made by the
University and is a major addition to our William Robinson
Collection. We are excited that the public can now enjoy
this extraordinary painting.
Strategic developments in the Collection will be further
showcased in the future as we work to develop a
travelling exhibition of William Robinson’s work so that all
Australians have the opportunity to appreciate one of
the nation’s most celebrated and gifted artists.
QUT is indebted to many people for their ongoing
support, in particular, the private lenders and institutions
that make works available for loan to the exhibition
program, the generosity of individuals who support
the gallery’s activities through donation and gifting
of artworks, as well as those who make financial
contributions to our collecting and program activities.
Without this philanthropy, we would have been unable
to achieve the successes that we have realised over the
past few years, or be able to proceed with our ambitions
for the future.
We also especially thank the artist, his wife Shirley,
and the Robinson family for their ongoing support,
encouragement, openness and generosity, as well as the
unfailing support of the University’s vision.
