Early Career Workshop
The Early Career Workshop will be held at the University of Adelaide the weekend before the ANZIAM conference. The workshop will run from 1:30pm–4:30pm Saturday, with a dinner (free to workshop attendees) Saturday night, and 9:30am–12:30pm Sunday, with a lunch and bus transport to Hahndorf provided Sunday afternoon.
The workshop will target both postdoctoral students and postdoctoral/research fellows. Session topics will include networking, communication, student supervision, and balancing work priorities.
