Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
The John Carver seminars were a wonderful showcase of our leading research, and brilliantly well presented. Many thanks to all the presenters (above), you readily filled the Finkel lecture theatre. Thanks also to the judges, Anna Herring, James Sullivan and Lan Fu who had some pleasant but tough decisions to make.
Last year I introduced an open style of the School forum, where in the past it was more like a closed Heads of Department meeting. While anyone is always welcome to speak at Forum, open fora can be confronting and not everyone will find their voice in this format. I believe a representative-based model serves best to ensure that people can find the easiest way to bring topics up. The change in format means we should review how that representation is formed, and how it is selected. Some representative groups currently have 4 members, others 2 and most just a single rep. During October I would like to call for comments on a) what type of group best represents your interests, b) how many representatives would this group need, c) how would you like them selected? Once I receive your suggestions I will collate the responses and publish in the Event Horizon for comments. Please send your views directly to Sue Wigley ea.rspe@anu.edu.au by October 31st.
I hope you enjoy the long weekend, don’t forget Day Light Saving starts on Sunday 2am.
