To wrap up our 40th Anniversary Research Impact Series, we're heading to Mparntwe, Alice Springs to discuss the evolution and impact of research in Central Australia, and the importance of partnerships in helping drive change.
Hear from Menzies researchers and key stakeholders as they share insights on past successes and challenges, higlight the significance of place and partnership, and look to the future of remote healthcare.
With its vast geography and cultural richness, research in Central Australia strives to seek solutions for the region and can also offer insights for those working in rural and remote areas nationwide.
