ANU has topped the nation, winning four out of 17 ARC Laureate Fellowships, more than any other Australian university. Three ANU scholars, and one who will move to ANU to take up the nation's most prestigious fellowship, were named ARC Laureate Fellows by the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research Senator Chris Evans at a ceremony in Canberra today. Professors Sue O'Connor, Tessa Morris-Suzuki, David Lindenmayer from ANU and Eelco Rohling from the University of Southampton, will receive a total of $11.8 million to pursue their critical research. ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Young said: "Today's results build on a culture of research excellence that is based firmly in the University's commitment to attracting and nurturing world-class staff. They are a cause for celebration across campus." "I heartily congratulate all the ARC Laureate Fellows announced today, but especially the four researchers who will conduct their work at ANU. "These researchers are carrying out vital research in the national interest, and it's very pleasing to see their hard work, years of dedication and commitment to excellence recognised by this, the most prestigious of Australian Fellowships. "Professor Sue O'Connor is a leading light in the world of archaeological research.
