We’re excited to announce a symposium in Melbourne in April 2024, co-hosted by Swinburne University.

The symposium will be an opportunity to spotlight a pioneering university model where industry partnerships are at its foundation, and connect our passionate Australian community. It will bring together industry leaders, key government officials, researchers and students to collaborate on a solutions-based approach to driving change.
