ARC DECRA Pitching Session for CHASS/CEPSW/CBGL

Course description

Please note: This session is for researchers from CHASS, CEPSW, or CBGL. If you are from one of the other Colleges and would like to participate, you can register via this iEnrol instead.

If you think you are better suited to pitch to the other Colleges’ panel because your research aligns with a Field of Research (FOR) code that traditionally sits outside your College, please contact us at researcherpd.rds@flinders.edu.au. 

Are you aiming for a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellowship from the Australian Research Council (ARC)?

Join us for a relaxed and informal pitching session where you can share your research ideas with members of the ARC College of Experts. This is a great opportunity to receive constructive feedback in a supportive environment, helping you to refine and develop your research proposal for your fellowship application.

What to Expect:

• Pitch Your Ideas: You’ll have 10 minutes to present your research ideas. No need for them to be fully polished or complete.
• Receive Friendly Feedback: Get up to 10 minutes of personalised feedback from the experts.
• Learn from Peers: Gain insights by listening to your colleagues’ pitches and the feedback they receive.

Your pitch should cover:

• The Problem: What issue are you addressing and why is it significant?
• Research Questions: What are your key questions and how will you tackle them?
• Impact: How could this research benefit Australia?
• Your Role: Why are you the ideal person to lead this research?

We also have spots available for people who want to watch the pitching session without participating (e.g., research support staff; those strategising for future applications). Please contact us (researcherpd.rds@flinders.edu.au) to secure your spot in the audience. 

This session will be held in person at the Alere South Function Centre, L2, Student Hub. If you are a rural or remote researcher and you would like to pitch, please contact us. 

If you have any questions, please email researcherpd.rds@flinders.edu.au.
