Applications for the second round of the 2010 Endeavour Awards for Postgraduate students and Postdoctoral researchers will open on 1 December 2009 and close on 30 January 2010 for funding in 2010. The 2011 round will open in April 2010.  The success rates for many of these awards are very high! 

The Research Executive and the Research Development Office will be running an intensive workshop over three weeks in January 2010 focusing on the forthcoming ARC Discovery Project (DP) applications due in February 2010.

The workshop is aimed at researchers who will be applying for an ARC grant for the first time or those who have been unsuccessful in the past. The objective of the workshop is to guide attendees through the application process, tackling each section at a time as well as developing grant writing skills.

Once again, staff in the Faculty are preparing for our exciting and vibrant Research Showcase event. 

A public lecture by Dr Paulo de Souza, CSIRO ICT Centre, Tasmania. 

Our Planet and Mars have a common past. Eventually, they will share the same future and some of the incredible technological development for the Martian missions is already being applied on our Planet. This lecture will travel across time, getting an overview on how our knowledge on Mars was built. Images and fresh scientific results will be presented, especially those obtained by scientists working with the NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers mission. The lecture will also show how some of the instruments that equipped the rovers Spirit and Opportunity are being applied on industry, environment or even archaeology.
