Invitation to Attend
The Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS) invites you to attend the 13th Annual National Conference ‘Imagine the Transformation... Transform your Imagination’ to be held at Dockside, Sydney from Tuesday 13 to Friday 16 September 2011.
The aim of the Conference is to provide a stimulating and practical program with social events and networking opportunities.
The program has been developed to reflect the transformation that can take place during a Research Management career, if we think outside the square... It starts with topics that will support those early in their careers and ends with topics related to industry collaborations. The conference will include workshops, panel sessions, plenary and parallel information sessions.
We hope to transform your imagination and assist with engaging others to support your Research Management career.
