Our ECIR research retreat was a wonderful time of building bonds, collaborative conversations and robust interdisciplinary discussions. Members travelled to Bathurst + joined online. What a wonderful time together celebrating our achievements, learning together, planning our grant writing and ECV2024 for 2024. Thank you to Dr Carolyn Gregoric for her amazing organisational skills, Holly McAlister and Belinda Freizer for making us think about how to listen to children, to the Research Office (Dr Emmaline Lear, Dr Lisa Limbrick, Dr Dale) for your excellent workshops and FOAE Admin team for joining us to begin planing ECV2024.
