HPRC Seminar Series | April 2024

HPRC seminar series

We are delighted to invite you to the inaugural seminar series session hosted by the UTS Human Performance Research Centre (HPRC), situated within the vibrant Moore Park Precinct. This engaging series aims to foster connections within our community, including postgraduate students, industry collaborators, staff, and researchers, creating a collaborative platform at the forefront of sport and exercise science, health, and human performance.

The seminar series serves as a vibrant forum for actively exploring the complex interplay between physical exercise and optimal performance, health, and well-being. The format will be a short presentation (approx. 20 min) followed by a panel and audience discussion. Following this, we will have time for our community to connect and chat further over light refreshments.
