Dr Martin Robertson's passion for teaching and learning application and excellence has been applied successfully in his HE teaching and leadership roles in both the UK and in Australia. His involvement in academic quality assurance has also seen him sit in an executive capacity on a number of related university councils (UK & Australia). He has also been an active contributor to national (Scotland) and state (Victoria, Australia) government academic quality actions. In addition, Martin has both lead and contributed to public consultations (UK and Australia).

Martin has maintained his connection to the industry through supportive involvement with relevant agencies, non-executive directorships, and committee roles. This applied activity drives his continued desire to provide a learning, teaching, and research experience that is professionally and socially useful, and, wherever possible, to enable future directions. Sustainability, resilience, regenerative capacity, and social justice are key components of this work.
