Graduate Research Leadership award
(School of Biomedicine) is the recipient of the 2023 Australian Council of Graduate Research in Graduate Research Leadership. This award recognises an individual in a research training leadership role who demonstrates inspirational and effective local graduate research leadership at a School, Faculty or other academic unit level.
As a co-facilitator of the HDR Community of Practice and postgraduate coordinator manager in the School of Biomedicine at the University of Adelaide, Associate Professor Crotti has been a vocal champion for graduate research, making an important difference to the progression and wellbeing of many of the school’s graduate researchers.
“I believe a strong and supportive HDR community requires an open exchange of ideas and respectful questioning of research, design and interpretation, between the HDR candidates and researchers at all levels and across a range of disciplines.
“I feel that supporting students early on in their decision to embark on the journey profoundly impacts their experience and contributes to creating a strong intellectual community that is inclusive of HDRs at different stages of career and research interests”, said Professor Crotti.
