Starting in October, ANFF is hosting six free webinars to celebrate the exciting science being conducted with the assistance of the network.

We hope that you’ll join us to hear about the exciting developments that ANFF has been enabling.

You can add this series to your calendar by downloading this file.

This webinar series has been introduced due to the situation in Melbourne making it unsafe for us to proceed in with the ANFF Retreat and Research Showcase in a responsibly safe fashion.

The “in person” part of the event, themed on the title Enabled by ANFF, will be held 11-13 May 2021 in Melbourne. More details to come.
