ASA Annual Scientific Meeting 2019

Astronomy within our community has changed dramatically over the last few years. With the ARC Centres of Excellence Astro-3D and OzGrav now in full swing and the joining of ESO in 2017, it is clear that collaboration on national and global scales plays an important role in answering the big questions in astronomy.

However, it is also important to recognise that these organisations are made up of individuals; and that it is individuals outside and within these organisations that continue to drive scientific progress.
