The 45 and Up Study Collaborators' Meeting
The 45 and Up Study Collaborators’ Meeting offers our research partners, supporters and interested parties the opportunity to receive a comprehensive update on the progress of the Study. It also provides an opportunity to engage with other researchers, policy makers and evaluators to discuss potential for maximising the value of the Study resource.
The Collaborators’ Meeting is held annually. The 7th annual Collaborator’s Meeting will be held on:
Date: Friday 29th October, 2010
Time: 10.00am to 3.00pm
Venue: Australian Technology Park, Eveleigh, Sydney(map)

Professor Terry Dwyer will be delivering the keynote address. He is currently the Director of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute based at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and was previously Director of the Menzies Research Institute, University of Tasmania, coordinating research projects including those on cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, childhood asthma, and diabetes. He is recognised for his research conducted in the 1990's that led to the prevention of a large proportion of SIDS deaths internationally.
Professor Dwyer will give a presentation on the value of observational studies in providing evidence to improve health outcomes and the likely best investments, in terms of enhanced data collection, for large scale studies in the future.
An invitation, along with more information and an online registration form will be emailed closer to the date.
