HDR Update

Summer has arrived, although the warm weather has not yet arrived. November saw record participation in Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo) across the ANU community. Congratulations to everyone who participated and are now a little closer to achieving their writing goals than they were last month.

We are busy planning for 2022. We will be starting a new intensive induction program for incoming cohorts to prepare them will the skills they need to get started on their research program. We will also be rolling out more opportunities for you to engage with industry and to develop skills that will prepare you for success post-PhD. The end of the year is a good opportunity to have a little break, rest and recharge. Have a great break and see you in the new year.

Got something to tell us?

ANU Researcher Development runs a wide range of programs during the year, but lots of surveys are annoying for everyone, so we ask for your feedback just once. This survey shouldn't take you longer than 10 minutes. Even if you didn't come to anything we ran in 2021, we'd still like to hear from you.

This time of year can be intense.

Learn some skills from Dr Shari Walsh to support you, and your research. Share this with your lab team, your housemates or your friends - all are welcome to join in for these one hour live sessions.
