For 10 years, One Big Idea has showcased UNSW academics, researchers and PhD students and their world-changing epiphanies. This 3 November, One Big Idea will celebrate its 10th anniversary by inviting program luminaries back to share the profound, the pressing, and the provocative updates to their original talks.
