- Clarify their career directions and goals;
- Learn from the experiences of academics at various levels in the Faculty of Science;
- Build a network of colleagues from across the University and different discipline areas;
- Think strategically about their individual priorities and how these fit into the Faculty of Science and broader University context; and
- Access relevant resources for research, teaching and career development.
