Connecting Women in STEM Research – Panel Q&A and Networking Event

Are you a student interested in pursuing a postgraduate research degree in STEM, or a postgraduate student who wants to find out more about careers in academia?

Come along to our panel Q&A discussion with 5 early- and mid-career academics in STEM at the University of Sydney, followed by a catered informal networking session, at 5-7pm on Thursday 5th September, at Messel Lecture Theatre, Nanoscience Hub, University of Sydney.

Meet our panelists:
