The annual event brings together research professionals across Australia and New Zealand and is hosted by a different university every year, UTS hosting their last one in 2021 and James Cook University hosting this year.
Research Support Community Day is a free, annual event that offers professional development and training for anyone involved in providing research support and related services.
