HDR Update

Summer is over and we move into autumn. My favourite season in Canberra and on campus. Campus is buzzing again with the start of the academic year as we are joined by new and returning students from across Australia and the world . While this puts pressure on parking and coffee queues, it returns our campus to the vibrant hub of active learning and engagement that makes ANU special. With more people comes more risk so please keep yourself up-to-date with the latest campus COVID news

Last year we announced a change to the way we would be delivering statistical support as we established the Statistical Support Network (SSN) led by Associate Professor Alice Richardson. The SSN have joined forces with the Researcher Development team to deliver our first HDR Statistics Boot camp from 16-18 March. Due to very high demand there are no places left in this first Boot camp but we will be running it again. Keep your eye out for the next opportunity.
