The Australia-Spain Network for Innovation and Research Excellence (AuSpire) is hosting its first Annual Event in Barcelona from Monday 27 to Wednesday 29 April 2026.

AuSpire, a postdoctoral research program centred on Planetary Wellness across Spanish and Australian research communities, is delighted to gather its community of researchers and supervisors for AuSpire’s first Annual Event.

The three-day event will enable members of the AuSpire community to connect, engage in professional development workshops and strengthen an international network of research collaboration.

During the event, AuSpire community members will participate in seminars on Planetary Wellbeing and sessions on topics including communication, ethics and open science. Postdoctoral Fellows and supervisors will also have the chance to participate in site visits, cultural activities and a networking dinner.

The 2026 Annual Event will take place from Monday 27 to Wednesday 29 April at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Campus Diagonal Nord in Barcelona.

AuSpire is co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by RMIT Europe. Through collaboration with research communities and industry partners across Spain and Australia, AuSpire seeks to confront international challenges centered on Planetary Wellbeing.
