In pursuit of a true multidisciplinary approach to consciousness, Melbourne Monash Consciousness Research contributes to world-class educational and career opportunities that provide outstanding training and skills for prospective leaders in this field.
Our initiative and network not only aim to connect graduates and postdoctoral researchers with leading academics and top institutions in Melbourne, but also develop clear pathways for engagement with the consciousness community and educational resources.
(For more information on undergraduate and graduate opportunities at the University of Melbourne and Monash University, see links below.)
In accordance with our initiative, as a leading consciousness research hub in Australia, our network seeks to provide educational opportunities to the wider community: from involvement in school level STEM subjects to public outreach presentations through key institutions such as The Wheeler Centre.
Embracing our fundamental philosophy of multidisciplinary collaboration, our mission statement facilitates active collaboration between the sciences and humanities. Ranging from cutting edge research in Artificial Intelligence and Bionics to thought-provoking Philosophy of Mind and Consciousness, and boundary-defining Art mediums; the network has successfully aligned research across an array of disciplines fostering valuable work.
