Queensland, Australia – Bond University has renewed its esports partnership with The Chiefs, an ANZ-centric esports club. Both parties have inked a deal in 2020, making the University the esports club’s education partner.

Through the renewed partnership, The Chiefs will provide internships for Bond students who aspire to work in the esports industry, will take part in research into esports, and work with Bond Sport and faculties to improve the health and wellbeing of esports players.

In addition, The Chiefs will also host esports tournaments from the Bond eSports Hub and collaborate on the development of an esports curriculum to prepare students to work in the industry. Said esports hub was opened by the University in 2019, with high-performance gaming machines and the ability to stream to a 500-seat theatre.

Nick Bobir, CEO at The Chiefs, said, “Bond University has been an amazing partner to work with and we’re thrilled to continue the relationship and expand on this further in the coming years.”

Meanwhile, Garry Nucifora, executive director of sport at Bond University, commented, “The Chiefs are a respected, international brand exhibiting a future-focus in everything they do. It is because of that approach, a Bond University esports partnership with The Chiefs makes absolute sense.”
