The annual Centre for Future Enterprise Colloquium was a success, but don’t take it from us, hear from the students, Lauren Fell and Tendai Makasi and Prof Martin Obschonka, “It was a good event – congrats to the organisers and all those that joined the event here and online…it is a great HDR community that celebrates diversity and curiosity, despite all the challenges during the crisis! Well done!”

 

We would like to thank those who attended, contributed and supported. A very special thank you to our colloquium organisers, Ryan Payne, Samar Fatima and Leandro Jesus.
