The Royal Society of Tasmania Northern Branch presents The Elvin Fist Public Lecture by Professor Dom Geraghty: The University of Tasmania Northern Transformation Project …. 8 Years On.
Professor Dom Geraghty will describe the Northern Transformation journey from inception in 2016 through to the present.
