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.
