CALENDAR 2017 50 years of innovation: 1967 – 2017 The innovative spirit that lies at the heart of Curtin University has seen us evolve from the bold and entrepreneurial Western Australian Institute of Technology (1967 – 1986) to the sophisticated, global university that we are today. We thank all those who have helped us to grow and forge meaningful connections with industry and the community. With a 20-year plan to turn our main campus into a technology-rich cultural hub, we look forward to a bright and progressive future, and continue to strive to make tomorrow better.
