About the series:

This seminar series showcases Israeli academics and some Australian counterparts to exchange knowledge and foster research collaboration between Israel and Australia. 

 

The talks are for a broad audience, 15 to 20 minutes long, and followed by a question-and-answer session. 

 

Mission: International collaboration is vital for advancing knowledge, addressing global challenges, and fostering cooperation and understanding among researchers and institutions worldwide. In this series, we focus on strengthening ties between Israeli scholars and Australian institutions through accessible short talks. We keep politics out of the series and focus on the scholarly work.

 

Hosts: This seminar series is hosted by Dr Yoni Nazarathy and Jo Savill from the University of Queensland, Australia.

 

You can watch some previous seminars on our YouTube channel.
