This school holidays, the QUT Young Accelerators program invites you to Meet the Researchers, a series of webinars to be held from 13-16 April.
In these webinars you will have the opportunity to learn about a range of current research projects, while also getting to know a little about the people behind them, and how they got to where they are now. There will also be time in each session for questions.
Each webinar will run for approximately 30 minutes and is free to attend.
