Conference 2012
Â
Research Australia recognizes that in today’s competitive funding space, our members and other health and medical research organisations often rely on a diverse range of strategies and income streams to fund their research and operations. These strategies will often require different skills, resources and knowledge bases, and can at times have conflicting requirements. The aim of the 2012 Philanthropy in Health and medical research conference is to address some of these areas and promote discussion in the Research Australia community as to how we can, not just juggle but manage this diversity to make it work for us. Research Australia is currently in discussion with a number of national and internationally based speakers to feature at the 2012 conference.
