Wake up and clear the air with an open panel discussion of experienced research managers as they reflect on their beginnings in research management and shed light on the diversity of their career success pathways.

Join ARMS members that are based in South-East Queensland as part of the QLD/NT/PNG Chapter Mid Year celebrations of 2026.

Slow down and take a moment to look over the horizon of the many possibilities in research management. This event recognises the diversity of backgrounds needed in research management by highlighting the cross-linking skills and opportunities that make a successful career and the opportunities that put wind in your sails.

Panel speakers have been invited to share how they started in research management and were lifted through support for promotions and secondments. Grab a hot drink with them and think about how you can breathe life into your career and get an early start on your success story.
