Murray Gillin is Professor Emeritus of Entrepreneurship & Innovation at the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne. Murray was the winner of the Inaugural 2001 Best Entrepreneurial Educator of the Year and founder of Australia 's and the World's first Masters Degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Though he retired in late '98, he has remained actively involved in the teaching of the MEI program in both Australia and Israel , and is still doing so. He also continues to supervise PhD candidates in entrepreneurship and innovation.
Murray 's pioneering spirit and educational achievements were also recognised by Swinburne University of Technology in awarding him the status of Professor Emeritus. Murray 's unique contribution to entrepreneurship education goes well beyond adding an elective or concentration to an MBA program. He and his team have demonstrated convincingly that a totally opportunity focused and integrated real-world program produces much better results. The MEI graduates now succeeding in the establishment and development of new growth ventures are the proof. Murray 's contribution has been of great importance to Australia .
During a career spanning 50 years he worked in the fields of defence science and technology as an Engineer, Research Scientist and as Defence Research Attache in the Australian Embassy Washington, USA.; and in education as Dean of Engineering, Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Pro Vice-Chancellor (Industry/Academic Liaison) at Swinburne University of Technology. He has special interests in wealth creation from engineering and innovation (is Past President of the Institution of Engineers, Australia ), and work integrated learning (is Past-President of the World Association for Co-operative Education).
He founded the School for Innovation and Entrepreneurship within the Faculty of Engineering at Swinburne and developed Innovation programs from Graduate Certificate through Masters level to PhD and have been taught in Australia , Singapore and Israel . In 1994 he initiated the development of the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship into a viable commercial enterprise and joint venture between Swinburne University of Technology and Ernst & Young. In 2001 this venture was incorporated into the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship. His work in helping to establish the MEI program in Israel led to the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship being given an export award.
Murray is particularly interested in practical research, has authored and co-authored books, chapters and professional papers and currently supervises 10 PhD students. In 1994 Murray was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. On Australia Day 1997, he was awarded with an AM (Member of the Order of Australia ) for his work in engineering, innovation and ongoing professional education.
In September 1997 Murray was conferred with an Honorary Doctor of Pedagogy from the North Eastern University , Boston for his work in developing innovation and entrepreneurship teaching programs. To 2003 he was the Visitor to the Co-operative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structure.
In December 1998 he was elected Professor Emeritus by Swinburne University of Technology and in 1999-2000 was a Visiting Professor in the Centre for Enterprise Development and Entrepreneurship at Murdoch University . He was awarded the Edwin Appel prize for contributions to Entrepreneurial Education by Babson College, Boston, USA in March 2000 abd in 2004 was inducted as a life Fellow of the Babson Kauffman Entrepreneurship Research Conferences.
