The Knowledge Futures Forum will bring together up to forty early career researchers (ECRs) from the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region, from across the humanities and social sciences to discuss key questions around a "futures" theme. To be held in Brisbane 11-12 November 2019.

This Forum supports the development of the next generation of talent within the social sciences and the humanities, and promoting interdisciplinary and international research collaboration. It seeks to bring cross-regional and multi-disciplinary insights to bear on issues of research and global significance, and provide opportunities for the creation of new networks and long-term collaborations.
