Curtin University conference room

Our last three annual conferences have been successful online, using Zoom. This will be our first in-person conference since 2019 in Manchester! We anticipate strong representation by students at Curtin University. Aside from being the academic home of our own Warren Mansell, Curtin is an important research university, and the largest university in Australia, with a campus population equivalent to a mid-size city. The season will be equivalent to mid-May in the Northern Hemisphere.
