CMS Talkfest

CMS Talkfest brings together our University-based members and external collaborators to network and share research.

The biannual event features a day of short talks and networking.

It aims to enhance partnerships within the UQ research community and to increase communication with external marine scientists as well as the general public.

It is held in February and July, usually on the Friday before each semester starts.

Speakers from UQ and beyond cover a range of topics at each event.

The event is free.
