Purpose

Rather than focusing narrowly on outputs like joint articles, Fellows are encouraged to discuss wide-ranging issues and approaches with University of Melbourne researchers, forming core circles that can sustain relationships throughout their research careers.

Activities

• An interdisciplinary forum with the L-INSIGHT Fellows as session chairs:
  • The discussion topic of each group is proposed by the session chair
  • Leading up to the event, each participating Fellow either gives an online seminar or holds an online meeting with UoM researchers
• The program offers opportunities to learn from “research within society” and “society within research” through lectures, discussions, and site visits with experts in fields such as epidemiology, cultural anthropology, and urban design on topics reflecting Australia’s multicultural context.
• Fellows also arrange individual visits with researchers with whom they wish to con- nect. Support is available for researcher matching.

Schedule

Outcome Examples

• Develop relationships beyond those established through externally-funded joint research projects
• Receive invitations to speak at seminars and participate in pre-visit planning discussions
• Discover long-term research opportunities through cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue
• Access valuable datasets and resources in Australia’s areas of excellence
