Research Week
This event celebrates the research undertaken at Austin Health and highlights the breadth and excellence of our research. It will be an opportunity to learn what others are doing, to facilitate new research collaborations, and to encourage new students and junior researchers to undertake a research career at the Austin.
We hope you will join us in making Research Week one of the highlights of our academic year.
