A significant contribution from global technology leader Trimble is set to transform research and education opportunities at Flinders University in South Australia. For the first time at an Australian university, a state-of-the-art Geospatial Trimble Technology Laboratory (TTL) has been established, poised to empower future graduates and professionals across surveying, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geospatial, and urban planning degrees.

Professor Alistair Rendell, Vice-President and Executive Dean of the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University, highlighted the importance of this collaboration. “The opening of the new Trimble Technology Lab, co-sponsored by Trimble’s authorised distribution partner UPG, will support Flinders University’s new Bachelor of Surveying and Bachelor of Geospatial Information Systems programs,” he stated.

Trimble and UPG have a long-standing partnership dating back to 1992, consistently bringing cutting-edge technology and innovation to Australia. This collaboration has been instrumental in helping organisations remain at the forefront of gathering, analysing, and utilising geospatial data.
