Camperdown Campus,
The University of Sydney
On the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, whose sovereignty we acknowledge, the Camperdown Campus is the main campus of the University of Sydney. Neo-gothic sandstone buildings sit alongside modern museums and cutting-edge medical and science research facilities. The conference will showcase the University’s iconic campus.
Just minutes away, the CBD of Australia’s largest city wraps around the spectacular Sydney Harbour, with its iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Bondi Beach will no doubt beckon conference-goers at the start of the Australian summer. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to participate in tours and cultural activities supporting conference themes.
