This is the registration page for the introductory session ‘The Australian Research Funding Landscape’. The session will be delivered in a hybrid format, where experts in different funding opportunities will introduce small grants, philanthropy and donations, industry funding, nationally competitive grants and international opportunities. The session will also include case studies and a live Q&A session with UTS researchers who have successfully attracted funding from a variety of sources.
