LEVERAGE KNOWLEDGE CAPABILITIES AT YOUR NEXT EVENT

Canberra is a knowledge hub, renowned for its research and innovation capabilities and excellence.

When you hold your event in Canberra, you open up access to unique on-campus venues, as well as academics and researchers that are leaders in their field. It’s an education hub, home to five universities including the highly ranked Australian National University, University of Canberra and UNSW Canberra, in addition to the brand-new University of Canberra Hospital, boasting state-of-the-art health training facilities. It’s a research hub, with leading research organisations such as the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies and the Australian Academy of Science based right here in the capital. Canberra is also growing its international reputation for ground-breaking innovation and research, with the Bureau of Meteorology, Australian Cyber Security Centre and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) calling our city home. Bringing it all together is our Research and Learning Institutes Group (RALIG), enabling event planners to access the extraordinary knowledge and expertise of the thought leaders within these organisations.
