… and The Winners are

 

The ACERE main conference program was recently held in the newly established $230 million Science and Engineering Centre in the heart of our CBD QUT Gardens Point campus. 5-8 February 2013.

ACERE participants also had the pleasure of enjoying the stunning views of Brisbane River, Kangaroo Point cliffs and the City Botanic Gardens at the ACERE Awards Dinner held at Room Three-Sixty.   Brisbane’s newest premier venue, Room Three Sixty epitomises sophistication and elegance and was a very fitting venue to announce the winners of the 2013 ACERE awards.
