Our education and training activities and events are a key outcome of the Overseas Skills Acquisition Plan (Fellowship Program). It is the means whereby the skills, knowledge and attitudes acquired overseas are made available across Australia. Accordingly, each activity is developed and delivered by an ISS Institute Fellow or Associate.

Are you wanting to acquire new skills, information and insights all underpinned by design from casting technologies, biotechnology, nanotechnologies, environment and alternate energy systems, value adding to regional foods, manufacturing, heritage to furniture, cheesemaking, even dry stone walling ... for your business, or personal exploration?
You can

Join an ISS Institute hands-on workshop, lecture, seminar, forum, conference or exhibition.
