Research Showcases


Each year, the office of the DVC (Research) hosts a series of Research Showcases aimed primarily at identifying opportunities for collaboration across the University.

Each Showcase aims to provide research staff and students with the opportunity to present their work to colleagues from other Schools, Faculties and Research Centres. Representatives of industry and Honours students will also be invited to attend.

The full 2010 Showcase Program will be announced shortly.
