The Nuffield Australia Board has been considering the optimum format for our ‘National Conference’ in recent years. After evaluating various arrangements it was decided to streamline the old format, merging successful elements and rebranding the events as:

The Spring Tour – held in October each year. The annual George Wilson Oration is presented at this event. To read the Oration go to this page.
The Autumn Tour – held in March or April each year.

Reports on these events can be found by using the links in the lefthand column (reports for Nuffield Contemporary Scholars Conference (CSC) and the Triennial International Conference can be found on the Nuffield International web site).

The tours objectives are:

To give the recently selected Scholars and opportunity to be briefed on the Nuffield Program
To give the recently returned Scholars an opportunity to be debriefed on their experiences with the objective eof continually improving the program
To give our returning Scholars a forum for making their verbal presentations to their peers
To continue the on going learning process of a Nuffield Scholarship by attending forums and visiting leading edge businesses
The opportunity to meet socially and network with Scholars from around Australia
To present the recently selected Scholars with their Scholarship Awards (Spring Tour only)

The next Spring Tour will be held in Melbourne between October 21 and October 24 2010.
