This community is unique in Australia, contains many world leaders in plant science. The staff, together with many visiting world experts, provide students with opportunities to work in world renowned research teams and on cutting edge research projects. They also enable students to establish contacts with groups in other states and countries, and to experience the stimulating scientific atmosphere of a leading research centre. Annual graduate student retreats, conference travel awards, graduate training workshops and a seminar series enrich the student experience.
