Fast Forward

Back by popular demand, our Fast Forward Presentations will once again inspire and provide a snapshot of research on the campus.

Come along to as many of the events as you can! There will be opportunities to meet your peers, learn more about the amazing research going on across SVSHIP’s fantastic partners, engage in new scientific and clinical conversations, develop skills and deepen your understanding of some broader topics around research – as well as enjoy opportunities to socialise and network. 

Our Precinct is on the ancestral land of the Gadigal and Bidjigal Peoples of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge the many different traditional countries and language groups of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples that work and visit us here. We also acknowledge that our partnerships and engagements happen across many different lands.
