Faculty of Medicine HDR Symposium

Thu 21 Nov 2024 8:45am5:00pm

Venue

Prentice Learning Theatre, St Lucia Campus (42-216) + Online

The symposium will feature presentations and a panel discussion relevant for HDR students across all fields in the faculty – learn how to improve your track record, effectively write grants and use generative AI to aid your HDR journey; get involved in our career pathway panel session; and learn how to approach and solve problems creatively and critically. Take this opportunity also to present your original research in our lunchtime poster session – but get in quick as there are limited poster spaces available!

This symposium aims to connect you to HDRs from across the Faculty of Medicine to foster collaborations, build a supportive network, and boost your training as a researcher. Networking will continue in the afternoon and evening with the social event planned for pickleball and refreshments at St Lucy’s.

Please register for this free event by 13 November for catering purposes or for the Zoom link for those unable to make it in person.
