Authors may submit their abstracts based on one of the following themes:
- When there’s only so much sunshine each day – where should the light be shone?
- What’s new under the sun? TEQSA, Demand Driven Funding, Performance Metrics, Base Funding Review, Research, International Demand;
- Before the sun rises over the Gold Coast, it’s already a new day across the Tasman – lessons for both sides of the ditch;
- Looking into and seeing beyond the sunshine: using data without being blinded by it.

Oral presentations will be allocated 45 minutes, including questions and answers to be held at the conclusion of each presentation or session (time permitting) in the Forum program.
