Coinciding with the international celebrations of Nuclear Science Week in the third week of October, the annual AINSE Postgraduate Orientation Week welcomes new postgraduate scholars in the AINSE PGRA, AINSE RSS, and ANSTO Future Now programs, and provides all postgraduate students with the opportunity to establish enduring networks with like-minded colleagues across Australia and New Zealand.

Alongside the new scholarship recipients, other postgraduate students interested in applying for the 2024 scholarship rounds can learn about the broad range of research supported by ANSTO’s landmark facilities, and participate in social activities as part of the worldwide Nuclear Science Week celebrations.

This year’s O’Week event will run from 16^th – 18^th October 2023 as an online event via Zoom.

The AINSE Postgraduate O’Week is a great opportunity to meet with fellow postgraduate students from the AINSE RSS, AINSE PGRA and ANSTO Future Now programs, as well as other interested students. All participants will attend a series of talks and panel discussions from ANSTO research leaders and AINSE alumni, in addition to virtual tours of ANSTO facilities. New AINSE/ANSTO scholars can meet their ANSTO co-supervisors and familiarise themselves with ANSTO’s campuses and facilities, while students interested in applying for 2024 scholarship rounds attend a specialised workshop focused on the application process for 2024 AINSE scholarships.

Invitations will be sent directly to all new scholars.  From August, AINSE will be accepting Expressions of Interest directly from interested Honours and postgraduate students from AINSE-member institutions who are looking to apply for an AINSE postgraduate award in 2024.
