BioSA regularly hosts Networking Forums with the aim of encouraging interaction across the local bioscience community.

These events feature a number of scientific presentations focusing on a central theme, followed by informal networking and refreshments.

Our past events have attracted between 80-200 attendees from across the biotechnology community - academics, students, service providers, researchers and politicians.

Networking Forums are held in various different locations across Adelaide throughout the year, with one being held approximately every 2 months.
