Welcome to Spring and the latest edition of MonashMinds for September 2023, a place where we share stories from Scholars across a range of issues, including the application of the #MeToo movement in sport, the impact of AI in the arts, and a cautionary blind spot causing climate disaster in Africa. Showcasing their continuing leadership, our Scholars share their opinions and insights while demonstrating sector innovation through collaborative problem-solving.
Welcome to this fortnight's edition of MonashMinds. As we begin to commence interviews with applicants nationwide, we thank the generous work of volunteers and panellists - enabling us to champion the achievements of scholars, their research, and their future leadership endeavours.
In this edition we share the research of scholars from a variety of areas, ranging from ophthalmology to climate science, celebrating their work’s innovation and potential for ongoing social impact.
We warmly welcome you to our first edition of MonashMinds for August. As the days are getting a bit longer and brighter, we take pause to reflect on the year that has passed and look forward to what the coming months will bring.
In this edition we join you in welcoming our newly appointed CEO, reunite with some very good friends of the Foundation for our 20th anniversary and share the innovative and positive impact of Scholars research on their local communities.
We have had an exciting start to our Scholarship Selection for 2024, receiving over 280 applications from passionate young Australian leaders looking to expand their horizons. We are thankful for the generous volunteers who will be reviewing our applicants and look forward to the upcoming interview panels to be held around Australia.
In this edition we see our Scholars sought by Governments to contribute as leaders in field, we celebrate newly appointed positions, and are welcomed by esteemed guests in Brisbane. We also say farewell to a great friend of the Foundation.
We hope you enjoy the news that follows.
