Industry Engagement

Our educational offering and research streams are designed in conjunction with thought leaders in the domestic and international wine industry.

This means we can provide our students with unique exposure to the wine industry, through experienced teaching staff, professional partnerships, and hands on learning in the heart of Australia’s wine country. At the same time, the insights we produce from our research can be immediately disseminated through the wine industry, thus providing solutions, which can improve the way wine businesses operate.

The Adelaide Business School has partnered with three major organisations to provide students the best opportunities to connect with current and future professionals in the wine industry:

  • Wine Australia, the national sector body that represents Australia's grape and wine producers on political, social and regulatory issues across the production and supply chain. The University have signed a multi-million-dollar agreement to support and stimulate longer term strategic wine research and development that will enable the Australian grape and wine sector to benefit from world-leading innovation. This includes access to several resources produced by Wine Australia, which our students can get access to.
  • Wine Communicators of Australia (WCA): the peak Australian industry body connecting business professionals working in the wine industry. University of Adelaide students are entitled to a free WCA membership while they study, and have unique access to a range of online resources to keep them up to date with the latest trends in the world of wine business.
  • Great Wine Capitals - Global Network: a network of 11 major global cities in both the northern and southern hemispheres, which share a key economic and cultural asset: their internationally renowned wine regions. By joining the University of Adelaide students have the opportunities to access knowledge and contacts in each of these Capitals, so they can always feel “at home” even when they are far from home.
