HDR Week

Celebrating the contribution our HDRs make to UQ and beyond.

HDR Candidates play an important role within The University of Queensland. HDR Week is a chance to celebrate our HDR candidates and thank them for their contributions. The week includes networking events, and social activities to recognise the hard work they put into their HDR journey and the important contribution they make to our university community. In 2024, we will celebrate HDR Week from 18-22 November. If you would like to plan and host an event for HDR Week, please complete the events form, and we will add it to the list.
