Communications and Outreach (HD)

Graduate Students

The Centre keenly fosters collaborative interactions with tertiary institutions in Canberra and elsewhere. This includes the formal joint supervision of Honours, Masters and PhD students as well as the provision of library and laboratory facilities. Students are variously based in their home university departments or in the Centre, and all are encouraged to benefit from the combination of skills among staff through attendance at seminars and laboratory meetings.
