Canberra Meet n' Greet

To coincide with the official announcement of the successful bid for the Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre, the Board organised a casual meet and greet session with staff from the Department of Education, Science and Training (now Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) as well as other influential government people located in Canberra. The purpose of the get together was to thank everyone involved in making our bid successful as well as promoting who we are and what we will be achieving over the next seven years.

Participant Meetings

The Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre holds Participant meetings that coincide with each Board meeting. This is an opportunity for Participants to hear about the latest developments in the Cooperative Research Centre as well as being able to raise any issues in a question and answer type session. These sessions are usually then followed by a casual networking event or dinner.

To date we have run four Participant meetings. The details are:

  • 7th August 2007 breakfast meeting in Adelaide
  • 30th October 2007 in Hobart
  • 4th February 2008 in Adelaide
  • 11th March 2008 in Perth (followed by a cocktail networking session)
