Researchers at Work: Tours of the ARC
Come along and see our researchers in action!
We’re hosting small group tours showcasing the world-class research going on in the ARC. You’ll see behind the scenes and our researchers will explain the ground-breaking work they are doing. This time, we’ll be opening the doors to the Centre for Data Science and AI, as well as CeMi, the Centre for the Cellular Microenvironment.
We hope to excite our next generation of thinkers and there may even be a lab coat in your size!
