  The New Online Zhao Dalu Exhibition: The Lives was overwhelmingly well received when it was opened in May 2021.

  The New Online Zhao Dalu Exhibition: The Lives was overwhelmingly well received when it was opened in May 2021. Sadly, the subsequent lockdown in greater Sydney cut public access to the exhibition short. To enable a wider audience to view this amazing artist’s great diversity of artworks in a more engaging and creative way, we are now launching the online audio-visual version which includes more artworks. This new version is accompanied by the original music of highly celebrated musicians Nicholas Ng and Julian Wong.

We are therefore delighted to partner with Bankstown Arts Centre in presenting this joint exhibition Cultural Cartography: Creating Art at the Intersection of Cultures featuring NC Qin, Christina Huynh, Anney Bounpraseuth, Chris Yee and Dr Cindy Yuen-Zhe Chen. These five very fine and gifted young artists all come from migrant families, and showcasing their devotion to artistic creativity and their early successes as young artists is both uplifting and inspiring.

  Intersect Online Training: Introduction to Research Data Management at Western Sydney: Online

  This workshop is ideal for researchers who want to know how research data management can support project success.

  Training and skill upgrade; Online Events
  This workshop is ideal for researchers who want to know how research data management can support project success.

  It is increasingly acknowledged that publication and re-usability of research data brings great benefits to researchers, institutions, and the scientific community at large. Therefore the management of your valuable research data becomes an important task. In fact, WSU’s Research Data Management Policy requires all researchers to have a data management plan (DMP) in place at the beginning of their research project. This workshop is ideal for researchers who want to know how research data management can support project success and are interested in research data management services and support available at their institution. We will step you through the process of creating a comprehensive DMP within our Researcher Dashboard, and along the way we will discuss:

  - How to manage research data according to legal, statutory, ethical, funding body and university requirements.

  - Approaches to planning, collecting, organising, managing, storing, backing up, preserving, and sharing your data.

  - Services supporting research data at your institution.

  Researchers from across Western are invited to join us for ‘Research Hour’; hosted by ITDS, Research Services, Intersect and the Library. If you have any questions about any aspect of your research project, plans, or implementation then Research Hour is the place for you. We have a range of experts on hand from across the University to discuss any queries you might have, help you problem solve, or point you to resources and services that could be of benefit to you as you carry out your research. No question is too big or too small – we want to hear from you, and to make sure you have all the support you need to carry out your research successfully. Bring your lunch and drop in, stay for 6 or 60 mins! Research Hour is open to Western Sydney University researchers from any discipline and at any level of their career.... everyone is welcome. This is a participatory discussion session, not a presentation – bring your questions and come along prepared to engage.
