The Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Research Council (ARC) are convening a one-day workshop for potential applicants in the biological sciences in upcoming and future ARC Centres of Excellence rounds. Senior ARC executives and current Centre Directors will lead panel discussions and share insights on the application process, what it takes to prepare a winning bid, and on the strategic and practical considerations of establishing a centre.
The workshop is ideal for researchers and university research officers and managers. This event is targeted at the biological sciences, however researchers from the other disciplines are welcome to attend.
