Who are our Emerging Leaders?

They are Early and Mid-Career Academics (EMCAs) and High Degree Research (HDR) students across the College. EMCAs and HDRs are highly trained and motivated scientists, educators and innovators, dedicated to becoming the next leaders in their field.

They are responsible for a significant share of the research output that emerges from scientific laboratories, innovation in teaching and learning, changes in national and international guidelines and policies, as well as taking on supervisory and managerial roles. Through their expertise and knowledge, the emerging leaders are in a strategic position to make decisions on the purchasing of equipment, consumables, services, textbooks and education and training material. They represent the future of Australian science, education and public health as they move into careers that include research, teaching, industry, policy making, and scientific communication.
