2009 Annual Research Conference

Research Excellence: Innovation, Creativity and Engagement

Wednesday, 11th November 2009
Geoffrey Blainey Auditorium
Mt Helen Campus

The University's annual one-day Research Conference will be held on Wednesday the 11th of November 2009.  The theme of this year's conference emphasises the way in which 'Research Excellence: Innovation, Creativity and Engagement' reflects in today's fast paced, globalised and innovative world. Our students and early career researchers are undertaking exciting research and this conference will enable them to share the stimulation of their new discoveries and findings with an audience keen to share in their passion.

Much of the research conducted by UB staff and students is built through strong collaboration with industry partners, and makes a direct contribution to economic development, environmental sustainability, cultural progress and social capital in regional Australia.

The keynote speakers for this year will be Professor Margaret Alston, Head of Department and Professor of Social Work, Monash University; and Professor Jon Borwein, Professor Laureate and Director of the Centre for Computer Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA) University of Newcastle, and also past President of the Canadian Mathematical Society.

The research conference will consist of a series of concurrent sessions clustered according to research areas.  All honours, postgraduate students and early career researchers are invited to submit an abstract.  The abstract can relate to any aspect of research including theoretical analysis, empirical results, work in progress, creative works, completed thesis chapters, and so forth.
