About the Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia) 

The symposium is supported by the Australian Academy of Science as part of the activities for the 2021-2022 round of the Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia). The Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia) supports activities which provide tangible benefits to Australia’s early- and mid-career researcher (EMCR) community, with the overall goal of furthering scientific discovery. Activities are managed by the Australian Academy of Science and funds are made available by the generous support of the Royal Society through the Theo Murphy (Australia) Fund.
