IT’S A COVID SAFE EVENT
This is a COVID-19 safe event, which means places are limited and registration is essential. It also means we will be networking in a different way. While normal networking opportunities are constrained, seating arrangements will allow opportunities to deeply engage with academics and industry representatives, providing a unique opportunity to connect and foster ongoing relationships in meaningful ways.
To help us with the COVID safe restrictions, you will need nominate for either the academic or industry stream when booking your seat. Find more details about the full program below.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The program opens with two parallel streams that focus on the Academic and Industry perspectives for optimising your PhD experience and career paths. The program concludes with a closing industry panel and keynote by QUT Business School’s Professor Peter Green.
The Fireside Chats provides an opportunity to delve into the interview process. Pre-recorded interviews with industry stakeholders have been conducted by CFE HDR students. The interview experience will be the topic of discussion during the Fireside Chat, providing a forum to share insights gained from this interview process in a novel and engaging way.
The Student Presentations is your chance to have the floor and gain invaluable feedback from industry, senior academia and your peers. Each stream will have a panel of industry and academic partners.

COLLOQUIUM MATERIALS – FIRESIDE VIDEOS
Insights are often best given when they emerge organically. To allow such insights to be gleamed an assortment of people across a multitude of industries were interviewed. These interviews are clustered around CFE’s four themes – entrepreneurial, digital, social-purpose and robust. The interviews have been segmented by either traditional academic rigor or how modern academia and industry interact together.
We suggest you revisit this page closer to the Colloquium to watch the videos prior to attending the colloquium as they will be discussed during the Fireside Chats. Videos will be uploaded once complete.
