24th Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference (AFMC 2024)

Join us for an engaging and dynamic event designed specifically for the benefit of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and Mid-Career Researchers (MCRs) at AFMC2024. This event will provide valuable opportunities for networking and professional growth through shared experiences with your peers.

The ECR/MCR Event will be held on the evening of Monday 2 December. Highlights include:

• Learn from accomplished ECRs and MCRs (details to follow): Gain insights and inspiration from experienced researchers and professionals on how they have navigated challenges at various stages of their careers.


• Interactive Discussion Sessions: Engage in meaningful discussions with seasoned academics and industry experts on a range of topics, for example: finding the next employment opportunity, positioning yourself for grants, enhancing visibility, effective project management, qualities of great research leaders, improving mentorship skills, aligning with industry needs, and effectively communicating your ideas.


• Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers and potential collaborators, fostering relationships that can lead to future collaborations and career advancement.

This event will be an excellent opportunity for ECRs and MCRs to enhance their professional skills, expand their networks, and gain insights that will help them advance in their careers. Additionally, it offers senior academics and industry professionals a platform to impart expertise on various topics to junior fluid mechanicians, while providing students with early exposure to future challenges and opportunities for adaptation.

All ECRs and MCRs are invited to register for the ECR/MCR event during conference registration. Participation is free of charge.

To learn more about this event, inquire about sponsorship opportunities, or join us, please contact the ECR/MCR representative for the conference, Dr Methma Rajamuni.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of a vibrant and supportive community of researchers dedicated to fostering innovation and excellence in fluid mechanics.
