A brand new conference on advance research: a World of opportunity

Not many will do this, but we fly to Australia (from South Africa) via Dubai and enjoy every moment. 

Unisa is the oldest Distance Education Higher Education institution in the world (140+ years) and we are very proud of this but to stay relevant in the fast-changing world of networks and technology, academics in distance education need to focus on advanced research.

The Asia Pacific Institute of Advanced learning will host the first Australia and New Zealand Conference on Advanced Research (ANZCAR-  2017) from 17 to 18 June 2017 in Melbourne, Australia, on the theme 'World of opportunities' and covering business, Education, Social sciences and ICT. Early-bird registration is open ($400) until 8 May and abstracts must be submitted by 28 April.
