Current Workshops

We engaged TJC to design and deliver bespoke online education webinars on Indigenous Cultural IP, and Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Indigenous Data Governance. Working with Neane Carter has been such a pleasure. Neane is a thoughtful, insightful and passionate facilitator, and her presentations were incredibly well received by attendees from the HTQ partnership and beyond.

 

Engagement with these sessions from stakeholders across our partnership and nationally has been significant. The feedback we have received has been very positive; our stakeholders identify the real need for this training across the research community and have commented on the tangible benefits these sessions have had on their work and engagement in health research.
