Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Our second run at Departmental 3-6-9’s is about to kick off.  Please discuss at your monthly Department meetings about how you would like to refresh these presentations, particularly in light of Frontiers, ANU Grand Challenges and new CoE or CRC bids.

Many thanks to James Irwin for organising the Research Data workshop yesterday.  It was a great exposé of the data management services we have at ANU through the Library, ANU IT Commons, NCI and ANDS.

All the best for the weekend

Tim
