The first SOLVE-CHD Retreat was held on 18th-19th March 2022 at Terrigal NSW. It was attended by 20 people including members of the senior leadership group, EMCRs and HDR students united for the first time since COVID-19. Emeritus Professor Adrian Bauman and Professor Tom Briffa gave Keynote sessions about academic career and integrity. EMCR Dr Stephanie Partridge shared her insights of coping with Investigator Grants’ feedback, PhD candidate Mr Dion Candelaria talked about his most recent paper and provided useful and practical tips for doctoral students to optimise their research development during and post-PhD. The group also had great time in team building activities and network sessions. It was a great success and we look forward to our next one in 2023.
