How it's run
The program uses engaging and interactive workshops to stimulate thinking and discussion around each of the participants’ research interests.
Led by Indigenous academics, the workshops present a broad range of information for participants, while still being able to focus specifically on individual topics.
It's run over three days at the Melbourne Poche Centre for Indigenous Health, which is located at The University of Melbourne Carlton campus. Travel and accommodation costs are included in this fully funded program.
