NRP Meetings, Seminars & Relevant Events
NRP Science Meeting Seminars - All Welcome
What and Why?
The purpose of NRP Science Meetings is to communicate about current NRP initiatives, help disseminate research findings throughout the neurotrauma community, share news and ideas and foster collaboration. An NRP investigator, or sometimes a visiting speaker, presents a seminar at each meeting.
Who can attend?
Everyone! NRP investigators, staff, students, interested clinicians and all members of the community, are welcome to attend and contribute to the discussions following each seminar.
When?
Approximately once per month, for one hour, either at "lunch time" or late afternoon.
Where?
At WAIMR or the University of Western Australia.
Interested?
Just call or email Louise (louise.goodes@waimr.uwa.edu.au ; 041 891 1878) to have your name added to our email list for notices of future meetings.
