South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n business and community leaders will hear from the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide's leading researchers at a new '' seminar series starting on 10 April.

To be held on every second Tuesday of the month, hosted by ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor James McWha and open to the general public, Research Tuesdays will address significant issues for business and the wider community.
