Director's Message
Dear Staff and Students,
Despite the recent milder weather, ACT is still in the state of alert. Please continue to be vigilant and regularly check the ESA website for updates. If you and your immediate family have been directly impacted by the bushfires and need additional support, please talk to your supervisor or DA in the first instance.
It's that time of the year again for ARC DP21. If you are putting in an application, please remember to submit the required information to Associate Director (Research) Prof. Elena Ostrovskaya, by 17 Jan.
The College hard deadline is 19 Feb.
Please note your diaries, for the 2020 Commencement Address on 17 February 2020. The Commencement Address is the formal welcome for all new students at ANU. It's an opportunity to hear from the Vice-Chancellor, notable graduates and other great speakers about what makes ANU such an exciting place. Expect a fun event full of colour and excitement and the opportunity to get to meet some fantastic people.

The gravitational-wave observatory network, that includes the National Science Foundation's LIGO and the European Virgo detectors, picked up what appeared to be gravitational ripples from a collision of two neutron stars. » read more
