Thinking of going to HERDSA 2017?  Why not bring a student?

At HERDSA we understand students to be potential partners.  The sub-theme Students in Curriculum Transformation will highlight understandings of students as change agents in higher education.  Hear from students and about how others are embracing this change creating opportunities for students to initiate and work alongside key institutional stakeholders to lead change.

At the conference this year we have very low student rates in order to promote student participation in higher education.

Don’t miss the phenomenal rates!  Early bird rates close 28 April!

Doctoral Education & Assessment Conference 2017
18-19 May 2017

DEAL 2017 is an ideal opportunity for you to gain knowledge of new directions for the doctorate with the recently released review of research training in Australia. Drawing together sustained empirical work and examining innovative future-oriented trajectories, the conference has the potential to inform policy, industry and doctoral research directions. This conference will bring together influential representatives from tertiary education institutions, Federal and State Government, key research and industry leaders, and higher degree research students.

Conference streams include:

• Learning
• Assessment
• Diversity
• Creativity and STEAM in doctoral research
• Industry-embedded doctorates

The DEAL 2017 keynote address will be presented by Professor Helene Marsh. Helene is a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Science and the Dean of Graduate Research Studies at James Cook University. Helene is a Fellow of both the Australian Academies of Science and Technological Sciences and Engineering and has received several international awards for her research. She currently chairs the national Threatened Species Scientific Committee.

Assoc. Professor David Cropley, an internationally recognised expert on creativity and innovation will be presenting at the conference. His teaching interests focus on systems engineering and related concepts, and his research examines a range of aspects of creativity and innovation, both in the field of engineering, and more broadly. David has appeared on "Redesign My Brain" (ABC TV, 2013) and "Life at 9" (ABC TV, 2014) discussing various aspects of creativity.

Poster presentations from HDR students are sought for the DEAL conference. The purpose of the poster competition is to highlight research which contributes to our understandings of doctoral level learning, skills and contributions, program, policy and practice.
