Brain drain or mind shift - what do you think? - City campus

Published: 18 June 2008

Moving ideas and research policies: Australian intellectuals in the global context.

Many of Australia's most inventive researchers are on the move around the globe and in the future their numbers will grow.

Is it in our national interest to try to attract them home? Or should we think more creatively and generously about this issue?

Speakers include Professor Jane Kenway from Monash University's Faculty of Education. She says "As researchers address the big global issues of our times, researcher mobility is crucial. So too is challenging narrow versions of the national interest."

Come and have your say. This conference will explore the diverse benefits and difficulties of researcher mobility and how research related institutions and bodies can best support and harness the benefits.

Places are limited.

Date: 22 to 23 July 2008
Venue: Monash University, city campus, Melbourne
