The bi-annual winter or summer schools are a great opportunity to engage with BE CRC participants and fellow HDR students helping to establish and enlarge their academic and professional networks. This year, the winter school program will be held in Tasmania, in conjunction with our Participant’s Workshop.
Our HDR students will be given an opportunity to learn from keynote lectures, various workshops and group activities that will exposed them to a range of topics of significance to the blue economy. Each BE CRC HDR student is entitled to attend at least one winter/summer school during their candidature.
