>The "Expanding Horizons" event
>"Expanding Horizons" provides an opportunity for early career 
>researchers and professionals to meet politicians in Canberra, and 
>to discuss cross-disciplinary work with colleagues.  
>
>People from all disciplines are invited to register - science, 
>technology, engineering and medicine, the humanities, arts and 
>social sciences.  Many will have completed a research degree in the 
>previous three or four years. Others will have taken up new 
>positions with universities, CSIRO, in research or industry, or in 
>galleries or museums in the last 6 years or so.
>
>What the event is about
>The Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) is 
>holding the event  to open new horizons for emerging researchers and 
>professionals, and participants will discuss their work with MPs.
>
>How can early career researchers and professionals influence policy? 
> Which new industries or problem areas in Australia would benefit 
>from a cross-disciplinary approach?
>
>The event features a Briefing Day at the National Library, dinner at 
>the Ottoman Restaurant (one of Canberra's finest), breakfast with a 
>Federal Government Minister, morning tea with the Opposition, and 
>lunch at the National Press Club.
>
>The guest speaker at the Press Club is actress Sigrid Thornton  who 
>will be speaking on creativity and collaboration and drawing on her 
>film and television experiences.
>
>Your experiences and ideas on cross-disciplinary work will feed into 
>a research project on collaborations between the arts and the 
>sciences. CHASS is running this project with funding from the 
>Department of Education, Science and Training.
>
>You'll hear a series of stimulating and important speakers, and have 
>a chance to mix with colleagues across a wide range of disciplines 
>and institutions.
>
>Highlights include individual meetings with Members and Senators. 
>All registrants will be paired with a colleague for an appointment 
>with a Parliamentarian, and an opportunity to discuss the potential 
>of their work.
