We plan to record this event and make that recording
available to all registrants subsequently. As there are breakout rooms
not all of the content will be recorded. It will just be the opening
presentation and the closing Q&A.

Access to the recording in our video library will be
restricted to AAG members and webinar registrants

**Please note**
Registration will close on Thursday 9th October at 5pm AEDT
This will allow our organisers time to collate the information
you give us during registration and configure the breakout rooms.

This event was limited to AAG NSW SECG members only
(AAG Student & Early Career members) but has now
been opened up to SECG members from other states.

The NSW Australia Association of Gerontology Student and Early Career Group (NSW AAG SECG) invites you to attend a one-hour online event designed to provide a space for students and ECRs to connect with each other over common research interests/methodologies.

Participants will first hear from a successful ECR grant recipient, who will talk about how they connected with ECRs and formed their research team. Participants also have the opportunity to network with other students and ECRs (in breakout rooms), practice the ‘elevator pitch’ of their research, and participate in a large group discussion with a Q &A session.

To support strategic networking, all registrants will be asked to complete a short survey prior to the event.

Join us to:

• Learn how to build a student/ECR team for grant applications
  
• Practice communicating your research interests with others
  
• Network with other students and ECRs for potential future research collaboration
