Members Only Event

The 2021 FLEET Strategic Workshop will be in a hybrid format, in person at the Teaching and Learning Building, Monash Clayton and live-streamed on zoom for remote attendees. With the goal to review the Centre research milestones and strategic plan, this 3-day workshop program will have the following schedule:

  • Wednesday 7 July 2021: Theme 1, A and B workshop – at Monash and online
  • Thursday 8 July 2021: theme 2 and workshops – at Monash and online
  • Friday 9 July 2021: break out discussions, reports from committee chairs and research theme leaders – fully online.

Due to restrictions in the number of people gathering, registration to attend the workshop in-person at Monash is now closed. The workshop will be live-streamed over zoom for all members to participate or listen to presentations. Members have been sent a calendar invite, zoom details are also provided in the event entry on FLEET calendar.
