The ANZIAM Early Career Workshop is a great opportunity for early career researchers to meet together for networking, cameraderie, and a chance to learn from the experience of some great invited speakers. The meeting will be valuable for those just starting out their research careers as PhD students, through to researchers about five years post-PhD.

Workshop Format and Focus

Acting on feedback from previous workshops we will focus on advice sessions rather than research talks. We will have speakers on topics including: Developing a research programme, establishing research collaborations, academic career paths inside and outside Aus/NZ, and balancing research with other commitments. The sessions will be in a variety of formats including panel discussions, hands-on active workshops and presentations.
