ACGR is delighted to present another of its national programs specifically designed to support Associate and/or Deputy Deans of Graduate Research, HDR Directors or equivalent and other academics aspiring to senior graduate research portfolio roles.

Participants may include:

• Deans of Graduate Research new to the role, and

• Associate/Deputy Deans of Graduate Studies (or equivalent) responsible at institutional or faculty/college level

• HDR coordinators and others with aspirations for these roles and current involvement in Graduate Research leadership at school or department level

The program will be facilitated by experienced Deans of Graduate Research and participants will develop a toolkit of knowledge and skills required to lead and manage graduate research programs at institutional or faculty/college level.

This program will provide a unique opportunity to learn from leaders in the field and focus on network building, providing an opportunity to mix and mingle (virtually) with current Deans and Directors from across Australia.

This program is provided to universities who are members of the Australian Council of Graduate Research and places are unlimited for each institution at a cost of $130 (+GST & booking fee) per registration. Prior to registering please contact your Dean of Graduate Research or equivalent to advise your interest in attending. Any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander aspiring graduate research leaders are welcomed as additional delegates.

Access the ACGR Graduate Research Leadership Program.

A resources booklet and Zoom links will be sent to delegates within 48 hours of registration.
