Research Symposium General Information

The symposium venue, costs, travel and accommodation.



Venue


In June 2008, the Royal Women's Hospital moved to a state-of-the-art $250 million facility at the corner of Grattan Street and Flemington Road, Parkville. The Symposium will be held in the Women's Conference Centre in our new building.

The world-class Women's Research Centre is a key feature of the new facility. The Centre will provide a contemporary laboratory and dedicated, modern, research environment which will support collaboration among researchers; particularly within the Parkville precinct.
