Project Management and Grant Writing Workshop with Jessica Leck
-
UNE Centre, Tamworth
This event will be an interactive workshop aimed at helping groups get the right start on a project from inception through to grant
application and successful delivery. We would cover project development, planning, budgeting, approaching partners for support and
considerations for the grant writing process. I would provide templates for key steps in this process which have served me well in my
applications and project management.
Participants will get the most out of this interactive workshop if they come prepared to discuss solutions for an issue or project of
interest to them.
Sorry, you've missed the RSVP deadline for this event.

Biological Inputs: Are we asking the right questions? Dr Aurelie Quade & Dr John Rochecouste

century. As our understanding of soil systems has grown, so too has an entirely new segment of the agricultural market: biological inputs
