Value proposition

The Geological Society of Australia Earth Sciences Student Symposium – Queensland (GESSS-Q) is a student-run conference initiative of the Geological Society of Australia (GSA). The Symposim is attended by students and staff from earth science-research and teaching institutions throughout Queensland. The conference is an annual event that allows undergraduate, Honours, Masters and Ph.D. students to present their research to the local scientific community; to gain experience in communicating their research findings through oral and poster presentations; to promote their talents to future employers; to discover areas of research at other universities, or departments; and to meet and network with new people within the earth sciences field.

2018 is the second year that the conference will be run. Due to the success of the inaugural 2017 conference it is expected that the GESSS-Q will attract delegates from Queensland Universities, local industry leaders, government leaders and geological society representatives.
