PAIR Talent Accelerator Program: Next generation research leaders

 

The Australia-Indonesia Centre is launching its online Talent Accelerator Program (TAP), aimed at increasing the impact and leadership of early career researchers across Indonesia and Australia.

 

TAP focuses on skills that are not traditionally part of postgraduate programs, such as working across cultures, multidisciplinary teamwork and social inclusion in research.

The program aims to establish a learning community of next generation research leaders.
