Forging a Centre that is greater than the sum of its parts

FLEET’s second annual workshop built on the successes of the 2017 workshop, bringing all of the Centre’s members and many international partners together in Magenta, mid-coast New South Wales.

As in 2017, the workshop was family friendly, with partners and family made welcome at shared meals, social events and poster sessions, and with free, on-site childcare on offer to those with young kids. Almost 40 partners and other family members took us up on this offer, and care was provided for 16 children.

Other highlights included:

  • How to write and pitch a Nature paper: a development workshop for early-career researchers
  • Inaugural FLEET trivia night
  • Talks by a wealth of visiting international collaborators and partners
  • Industry engagement panel
  • Video presentation by CSIRO Chief Scientist Cathy Foley.
