This month’s newsletter we highlight the 2024 Best HDR Student Research Publication  winners.

This annual programme demonstrates Flinders University’s commitment to high quality research dissemination and gives students an opportunity to share their work with the wider community. These students have demonstrated excellence in research, and we applaud all the hard work that went into producing these publications.

Congratulations to all recipients!

The Office of Graduate Research hosted a ceremony to celebrate their success on 2 June 2025.
