Professional Staff Showcase - expressions of interest
On Tuesday 21 October, Faculty of Science Executive Services will host a Professional Staff Showcase and we are seeking expressions of interest from professional staff who are interested in presenting a short (10–15 min) presentation on an innovative aspect of their professional output and work delivery.
The aim of the Professional Staff Showcase is to provide a forum for professional staff to share their learnings, best practice, and ideas across the faculty community. More information is available on the Faculty of Science Professional Staff Showcase intranet page, including links to previous years' presentations.
Those interested can email their abstract, of no more than 500 words, to Benedict Porter in Executive Services by Sunday 7 September.

Viva Engage
No matter what your role or which campus you call home, the Viva Engage community is great for keeping up to speed with what's happening across the University.
We’ll be using this Viva community to share news stories, updates on projects and other things that are happening, and encourage conversations about life and work in Science at Sydney.
Education Showcase
The faculty was proud to present the 2025 Education Showcase, which took place in early April.
The themes of the Education Showcase this year focused on coming together to celebrate and highlight innovation in teaching and education delivery. Several leading science educators gave short talks on their varied education delivery platforms, providing interesting insights into timely teaching themes.
A full list of speakers, their presentations and session recordings can be found on the intranet.
