Visiting researchers
Bringing world-leading scholars to the Sansom Institute
The Sansom Institute regularly welcomes leading researchers from interstate
and overseas who generously come to share and exchange their knowledge and
expertise.
While the nature of each visit varies – some guests come for a day to
deliver a guest seminar, others stay for years to drive major research
projects – all are appreciated for their contribution, encouraging a spirit
of collaboration, and help our staff and students to broaden their
scientific outlook.
