Connect, Collaborate & Commercialise - ATN Research Translation Workshop    17-19 March, 2019

The ATN workshop will be held in Sydney next month and particularly ECR’s and MCR’s would benefit from these in terms of their research career.
The workshop will be run as a two-day intensive ‘bootcamp’ on research translation and commercialisation. Researchers will gain a better understanding of how to turn discoveries into commercial ventures, a collection of new connections, and possibly some ideas for new projects.
The workshop will have a Medtech and Oncology focus but researchers from all disciplines are encouraged to attend to build their multidisciplinary networks.

For more details, click here about it or you can go direct to the event page: https://atn-workshop-2019.eventbrite.com.au.by no later than Friday 1 March 2019.

The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) Society of Australia and New Zealand

Invite you to attend a free (catered) regional symposium on Monday the 26th of November from 1-5pm in the SAHMRI building on North Terrace. 

Please register for this free event using the link below (please note - places are limited so please register as soon as you can):

https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/dohad-sa-regional-symposium-programming-for-a-healthy-life-tickets-52036882717

It's a fantastic opportunity to network with other researchers investigating a wide range of exposures during "critical windows of development" (largely from preconception-weaning) on later life health. For more information on developmental programming and the DOHaD society, visit the following website: http://www.dohad.org.au/

In 2019, the international DOHaD Congress will be held in Melbourne between the 20-23rd of October. There is a lot of fantastic ongoing developmental programming research within South Australia, and the 2019 congress is our opportunity to show strong South Australian representation and establish international collaborations. Note that there will be many ECR travel awards available only to those within the ANZ region, providing a great way to send the ECRs in your lab to the meeting (flights are already very cheap, anyway!). This regional symposium represents a good opportunity to network within the DOHaD community prior to the international congress next year.

Research benchmarking metrics to enhance ARC, NHMRC and funding applications

using Web of Science and InCites

 
The Library and Clarivate Analytics will be running workshops on using metrics from Web of Science and InCites to provide evidence of your research performance to enhance your grant applications.   
The trainer from Clarivate Analytics has extensive experience with optimising metrics, and will provide a range of tips on how to find, interpret and use metrics wisely, including:

• Discovering the increased coverage of journals in Web of Science and InCites through the Emerging Sources Citation Index
• Reviewing your own individual metrics and identifying highlights
• Looking at the Category Normalized Citation Impact (known as FWCI in Scopus)
• Understanding the difference between indicators that are used to benchmark people, journals, and articles
• Top tips for showcasing your research performance by FoR, national and international comparisons and collaborations.

Workshops and registration details:

If you have questions or topics you would like answered, please send them through to Lby-ResearchServices@unisa.edu.au so we can ensure they are covered.

Please note you will need to login to access InCites, so bring your password details for Web of Science/InCites/ResearcherID/EndNote (the same password works for all products) with you, or if you don’t have an account or have forgotten your password please access Web of Science then go to the signin prompt top right of screen and follow the prompts.
