HDR Update

 

 

A warm welcome to the beautiful blossoms and spring weather and to our incoming research students. Our HDR induction takes place from 11-15 September, I look forward to meeting you then. 

For those of you new to Canberra this is a season to lookout for magpies, lapwing plovers and noisy miners but enjoy the blossoms and the ducklings famous on the ANU campus. While the magpies might be dangerous at this time of year they have just won Australia’s favourite animal noise in a landslide.  

I hope your research is going well. We have more and more opportunities and support available for you to take your research outside academia. Some opportunities might qualify you for an extension to your research program and scholarship. Check out our SharePoint site to learn more.
