Event information
Online via Zoom
The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) is committed to developing research capacity in Australian higher education equity, especially through its support of the next generation of equity researchers.
This includes engaging, collaborating with, and funding students to conduct research on Australian higher education equity issues. The ACSES Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Stipend Scheme provides supplementary funding to higher degree by research students enrolled in an Australian university (Table A and Table B providers) to undertake a research project relating to Australian higher education student equity that leads to the publication of a journal article. The scheme is intended to encourage the translation of research to practice, evaluation, and policy in student equity.
ACSES is pleased to host this webinar, which will feature presentations from a recipient from the 2025–26 Round of the HDR Stipend Scheme.
