Details
Organized annually by the Postgraduate Student Committee, the conference aims to promote greater relationships, integration and collaboration between the diverse disciplines within the field of human movement studies and nutrition sciences.
This conference strives to provide postgraduate students in the field of human movement studies and nutrition sciences with a high quality conference in which students are afforded the opportunity to practice presenting in front of a large, supportive and interdisciplinary community, which gives constructive feedback. This conference therefore provides an invaluable opportunity for all postgraduate students to practice and extend their presentation skills (regardless of their progress within their research), while fostering and forming friendships with postgraduate students from The University of Queensland and other universities within Australia.
