Director's Message

Colleagues,

I hope you and your families have an enjoyable, safe and restful break over the end-of-year period, and please accept my best wishes for the New Year. I can hardly believe that it will be 2019. I look forward to everyone being back at the ANU, bright-eyed and busy-tailed in due course.

Vickie Bennett has kindly agreed to fill the acting director role while I am on leave through to the end of the 2nd week in January.  Shanti will also be present over the period if you require any assistance from the director’s office,

kind regards, 

Steve
