This hands-on experience enhances research training and promotes the development of good research skills. Moreover, the diversity of active projects at the Melbourne Institute introduces students to the breadth and depth of research questions and methodologies.

International Visiting Scholars

Academic staff at the Melbourne Institute collaborate with a wide range of national and international scholars.
