The institute consists of an integrated school, panel, and doctoral colloquium (primarily but not exclusively) aimed at early career doctoral researchers. Participants include professional academics / researchers, doctoral candidates and industry professionals, and research-driven students. The institute hosts an invited faculty delivering lectures, intensive tutorials, and keynotes; opportunities also exist for young researchers to position ongoing / early stage research, discuss, and network with institute faculty and participants.</div><div class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><span class="">/ </span>INSTITUTE FACULTY / </div><div class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="font-size: 15px;
