The 2021 'Savant Thakur ECR Workshop' will explore the world of reserach post-COVID19.
The ECR workshop is intended for junior researchers (honours, PhD and up to 10/15 years post-PhD).
The AuPS council have named the event the Savant Thakur ECR Workshop to honour the memory of Savant Thakur, an active student member of the AuPS Society. Savant was a brilliant, dedicated and high-achieving student who overcame considerable adversity to become an inspirational scientist, undertaking research to find a cure for DMD and be a help to so many others. While he had faced challenges over the years to treat his condition, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Savant had an amazing impact on all he met.
AuPS offers a number of prizes and awards for PhD students and Early Career Reserachers, including prizes for outstanding publications and best oral and poster presentations at the conference.
Students presenting at the AuPS Gold Coast Conference are also eligible to apply for travel support.
