Session 3: Coventry University, United Kingdom
Join us online for our April session of the Faculty of Health’s International Research Partnerships Colloquium Series 2024. Each month we'll feature one of our international partners, with presentations from a Deakin and partner researcher on their latest collaborative work.
Presentations will take place via 50-minute Zoom sessions (20-minute presentation plus 30-minute Q&A) highlighting the innovative research being progressed within our strategic partnerships. It's a great opportunity for staff, HDR and other research students to learn more about our international partners, the key researchers involved and the opportunities that exist to engage.
