Keen on learning more about the innovative research happening at academyEX? Connect with us at Converge!

Designed as a dynamic hub to cultivate the research culture at academyEX, Converge is a safe and supportive environment where students, alumni, staff and industry professionals come together to collaboratively discuss and critique research ideas. It’s a great opportunity to learn and unlearn!

When was the last time you gave yourself a WOF?

Join us for a relaxed evening with your fellow academyEX Masters and Postgraduate alumni - full of good conversation, good company, and a little space to check in with yourself.

We’ll enjoy drinks and nibbles, followed by an energising session with our new Director of Learning, Debi, who’ll chat with Frances about why wellbeing matters more than ever in how we live, learn, and lead. She’ll also guide us through a light, reflective activity (inspired by the hauora model) to help you tune into what’s going on for you - think a mid-year WOF inside and out.

It’s a chance to reconnect, recharge, and leave feeling a little more in sync. We’d love to see you there!

All proceeds will go to The PJ Project run by The Kindness Collective.
