Wednesday Wrap - A Fortnightly Seminar Series

The Wednesday Wrap is a relaxed informal meeting which brings together people from Adelaide University, CSIRO, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Hanson Institute, IMVS, University of South Australia and Flinders University to discuss proposed, current and on-going projects, seminars, papers, trips, project protocols and what the different groups are doing.  As well as getting everyone together, this meeting provides an excellent opportunity to develop more formal collaborations. 

The meetings start at 9:30am every second Wednesday in the conference room – Level 6 Eleanor Harrald Building, and finish around 10:30am.  Freshly brewed coffee, tea, juice and an assortment of pastries and fresh fruit are supplied.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
