Welcome to the April 2019 edition of the AAIR newsletter.

This month’s newsletter includes loads of exciting news and new initiatives. The 2018 ERA and E&I survey results have been released, and Universities Australia has acknowledged the contribution that international education has made to the Australian economy!

In the Big Data and BI section of the newsletter, you can read about some content from Altis’ blog. My personal favourite piece is Samuel Ward-Riggs’, The Difference between DevOps and DataOps (link no longer available). The graphs and pictures used in Samuel’s discussion help us think about how more business values are generated by integrating both.

This issue introduces a new section called Soapbox. As a pilot, Jeff Bibby (QUT) has raised some great questions about ‘HESDC enquiry on Adjuncts’. We hope to include the Soapbox in future issues as a unique platform for AAIR members to engage in more collaboration and discussion. Anyone can respond to questions raised in the Soapbox, but only financial members can post a question. The member who poses the question will provide a summary of the findings that will be posted on the AAIR blog. Please email Liesha or myself with your Soapbox questions, or if you have any other ideas or suggestions for our newsletter.

Enjoy reading
