Engaged university e-Symposium
The Engaged University e-Symposium will provide a space for professional and academic staff to reflect and explore different levels and scales of engagement initiatives for research, teaching and community, and their impacts across the University of Melbourne.
The e-Symposium offers an opportunity to listen to one another’s work, to network and mobilise knowledge and practice, and to test engagement initiatives with an internal audience.
