Research Advisory Forum 7

Research Advisory Forum, Sydney, October 2012

The seventh Research Advisory Forum took place at the headquarters of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service in Sydney from 23-24 October 2012.

The format included presentations from a series of research projects, together with presentations from PhD students on their research. Each suite of presentations was followed by a 15 minute Panel Session for questions. The panels were made up of the researchers and students who presented during that session and chaired by the lead end user for those projects.
