Events
Our events bring some of the world's leading researchers from across Australia and worldwide with a diverse and engaging range of topics.
Do you want to take your data analysis skills to the next level? The R statistical computing environment has become a standard for scientific data analysis, visualization and reproducible research. At the HIE, we offer an introductory course to help you climb the steep learning curve. This five-day course is aimed at postgraduate students and staff, and is for newcomers to R, as well as intermediate users.

Eucalypts in a Changing Climate
Sunday, 15 May
Join us for a conversation about eucalypt forests in a changing climate and the role of culture, art and science in communicating the urgent need for global and local change. This discussion will be followed by a tour of EucFACE, a massive experiment that exposes large areas of native Cumberland Plain forest to elevated levels of carbon dioxide — the levels we are expected to reach by 2050.
