NIODA Colloquium 2021
Final year students in the Master of Leadership and Management
(Organisation Dynamics) present the outcomes of their action research.
9.30 am – 3.30 pm (Melbourne time) Friday 29 October
The NIODA Colloquium is a forum where final year students in the Master of Leadership and Management (Organisation Dynamics) present the outcomes of their action research with participating organisations. The research projects are the culmination of three years of postgraduate study for the students. The projects are carried out under NIODA staff supervision, with ethics approval, and using state-of-the-art methodological approaches.
By joining us at the colloquium, you will have access to some of the latest research in systems psychodynamics as well as supporting the development of candidates in the field. Attesting to the calibre of work in the program is the knowledge that many past graduates have presented their work at international conferences and had their work published in refereed journals.
