  • Assisting with Mentoring and Guidance in Careers (MAGIC) workshop for women and gender-diverse ECRs
  • Linking with the Monash Energy Institute to co-organise industry-engagement events.

In addition, FLEET worked with professional bodies to present Centre science to industry-engaged audiences, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Engineering Australia (Sydney) and Royal Society of Victoria (Melbourne).

The Centre also worked closely with Monash Tech School, running lab tours for local school students, and with John Monash Science School to develop a new Year 10 FLEET science unit (see p69).
