Tea & Buns aims to create an opportunity for those working in nonprofit and social innovation to learn from each other, discuss the latest research and how we might apply research to our work. The webinar is online, free and gives you access to a vibrant network of like-minded people, including researchers at QUT.
Each month we will tackle topical leadership questions. It’s free to attend and you’re welcome to send through your issues and questions any time during the month to Ruth at ruth.knight@qut.edu.au.
