Get excited for our 2025 AMPlify ECR professional development series!

We have confirmed a star-studded line-up of inspiring researchers. We’ll be AMPlifying our professional development from both academic perspectives and industry perspectives. We’ll start with learning from prolific researchers and industry professionals in Victoria, then travel to Europe to learn about music science in Italy, to America to hear from Spotify’s former data alchemist, to Queensland to learn how to use AI to generate songs about our careers, and back to Victoria to AMPlify our wellbeing.
