Sharon SaundersHOST
Lilia, what about where do you come into this conversation? Tell us about you.

Lilia MantaiGUEST
So I'm a senior lecturer at the University of Sydney Business School, but in this context, I'm the vice chair for ACRE, the Australasian Council for Undergraduate Research.

Lilia MantaiGUEST
And we've been doing this work since, well, even before 2010, but in 2010, we really began a really strategic program.

Lilia MantaiGUEST
At that time, there was very little acknowledgement that undergraduate students could do research and do great research.

Lilia MantaiGUEST
And there was no organization or government agency that advocated for and supported undergraduate research.

Lilia MantaiGUEST
So we decided to establish opportunities for undergraduates to share their research by setting up the annual ACO conference, which has now been going for 14 years strong.
