RESEARCH OFFICE REPORT
Research Day
In 2004, UNSW@ADFA's inaugural research day focused on interactions and research collaborations among UNSW@ADFA researers and research students. The 2005 Research Day on 24 October will focus on research students and research training support.
One of the highlights of Research Day will be a 'Research Student Poster Competition' which will attract a certificate and $500.00 cash prize for the winning poster. Posters must be A1 sized (and preferably laminated). Expressions of intention to submit a poster must be provided to Geoff Brooks in the Research Office by 10 October so that appropriate display arrangements can be made. All posters entered in the competition must be lodged with Geoff by no later than 12 noon on 20 October.
This year there will also be a series of presentations by research students to introduce their areas of research (in plain language!). The best research presentation from both Business/Humanities and Social Sciences and from Engineering / Science will be awarded a certificate and cash prize of $800. (And for those of you who have already asked, if three students are part of one presentation team, they will have to share the $800!!!). The relevant Heads of Schools will nominate the students to take part in the presentations.
A light lunch and morning and afternoon tea will be provided. For catering purposes, please register your attendance with Geoff Brooks on x88112 or at g.brooks@adfa.edu.au by 1 October.
A preliminary program for Research Day is available on the Research Office website at http://www.unsw.adfa.edu.au/units/research/index.html
