This three-year appointment adds to Mr Conway’s list of professorial appointments both in Australia and overseas.
The appointment also strengthens the existing relationship between the IPA and Deakin, with Mr Conway having been recently awarded the honour of Vice-Chancellor’s Distinguished Fellow by the university.
IPA president Wendy Leegel commended Mr Conway on the appointment.
“On behalf of the IPA board of directors, I would like to congratulate Andrew for this appointment, which further expresses his commitment to the education sector here and internationally,” Ms Leegel said.
