WAGES Workshop Focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Researchers

Registrations are now open for AUScelerate’s next WAGES workshop – ‘Building Your Research Story: Demonstrating Capability, Impact and Leadership’.

Delivered in partnership with Maali Hub from the Our Collaboration in Health Research (OCHRe) Network, it’s a career development workshop focused on building research capability, impact and leadership.

Expressions of Interest are open for Indigenous EMCRs and non-Indigenous EMCRs working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research who are:

Participants will also have the opportunity to hear directly from experienced Indigenous research leaders and engage in discussion about career development, research identity, leadership, and independence.
