Defence Science and Technology

Defence Science and Technology (DST) is proud to present SCINDICATE 2018 on 29-30 August at its Fishermans Bend laboratory in Melbourne. 
What is SCINDICATE?
SCINDICATE is the new brand name for the previous annual external engagement event called Partnerships Week.   
The name abbreviates Science (Sc) and Industry (Ind) and is pronounced Syndicate, meaning a group of individuals or organisations combined to promote a common interest; in other words, partnership and collaboration.
The theme for SCINDICATE 2018 is Future Science and Innovation for Game Changing Capabilities. 
What will I see at SCINDICATE?
Spanning two days of activities, SCINDICATE delegates will experience technology demonstrations, workshops, briefings and laboratory tours, as well as opportunities for networking and forging new collaborations. Delegates can choose to attend on either day, and the program will include key elements repeated across both days. The program will be available at our website once finalised. <A HREF="http://www.dst.defence.gov.au/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.dst.defence.gov.au</A>
