About the Sessions

Our objective with this program is to provide an opportunity to network with each other and to hear from experienced researchers/mentors about their career.

The sessions are aimed at our Young Tall Poppies from 2011 although anyone is free to register.

Our plan would be to run one- two sessions each month with opportunity for an experienced Tall Poppy to be able to talk about issues such as

• • Advice to your younger self
  • Leadership in science
  • How to maintain the spark of enthusiasm the start of their career

We envisage each session taking about an hour.
All sessions commence at 5.00 pm except Monday 20th September which is at 1.00pm.
