With Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowships closing on Monday 22 April, TRI has reached out to past recipients to hear about their success. TRI-based Professor Jyotsna Batra from QUT (Queensland University of Technology) (pictured) and Dr John Lee from The University of Queensland shared some of their tips: DO - keep it simple - think about your end-user so the research has a clear application - know what industry needs - approach industry partners and start the application early - identify research milestones clearly - justify your budget - be persistent (neither Prof Batra or Dr Lee secured a fellowship on their first attempt) - take on feedback and learn from your mistakes. DON'T - use jargon or be highly technical - leave it to the last minute - be too ambitious - be genetic or unfocused - neglect feedback.

In a thought-provoking piece published in 2011 in Nature titled "Reform the PhD System or Close It Down," Mark C. Taylor highlights a critical issue in higher education: the current PhD model is unsustainable, producing too many graduates for a limited job market 🎓📉. Taylor argues that many doctoral programs are overly specialized and disconnected from the real-world challenges they could address 🌍💡. To maintain relevance, he suggested that PhD programs need radical reform, focusing on cross-disciplinary investigation and practical problem-solving 🔄🧩. Alternatively, universities should consider shutting down redundant or inadequate programs to avoid perpetuating a cycle of underemployment and unmet expectations 🚫❌. The call for change is clear: we must rethink PhD education to better align with today’s needs and realities or risk losing its value altogether 🕒⚠️. It’s time for all stakeholders—students, faculty, administrators, and beyond—to envision a future where doctoral education truly serves society 🌱🌍. What are your thoughts? How do you think we can reshape the PhD system to meet the demands of the 21st century? 🤔💬 Read more: 📖 https://lnkd.in/dK__mXeP
