Impression of the 2022 APEC Australia Women in Research Fellowship

It was an honour to be asked to judge this round of APEC-Australia Women in Research Fellowships.

The calibre of applications was fantastic and made the judging process particularly difficult. It was

a pleasure to see the variety of research being pursued and also admire the perseverance of

women across APEC economies.
