As a result, AustStab Awards of Excellence will be awarded for 2020. This means that Award nominations are now closed, as is the conference Call for Papers. AustStab thanks those who have submitted conference abstracts and awards nominations and will be in touch to discuss the possibility of their resubmission in 2021.
