Colloquium

The Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) offers a regular forum for invited colloquia. These colloquia are one-hour research lectures primarily presented by invited speakers and finishing PhD-students.

Talks are given in the Duffield Lecture Theatre at Mt Stromlo Observatory and are free to attend. A zoom link is provided for those unable to make it in person.
