about the event

Increasingly, the most significant research advances are occurring at the interface of disciplines. The aim of the Theo Murphy Frontiers of Science symposia is to bring together the very best young Australian scientists in multidisciplinary areas of science to discuss emerging technologies and identify potential opportunities for future research collaboration. Gifted young scientists explain what they do and why, and during this process, discover how an idea can bridge disciplines.

Since 2010, these symposia have been supported by the Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund, courtesy of the Royal Society of London. 

The 2019 Theo Murphy Australian Frontiers of Science - Redefining healthy ageing together will bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines all with a focus on healthy ageing. Delegates will hear from leading researchers in healthy ageing in Australia. A panel discussion and public engagement workshop will allow delegates to further their understanding of engaging members of the public in their research-not as research participants but as collaborators who can add a valuable insight in to the design and development of research projects.

All events to be held in the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) Auditorium, Adelaide.
