	From the Director of the RO Welcome to the third issue of the Research Office e-newsletter. Hopefully you find it useful. If there are other items you would like to see covered in the newsletter please let me know. The Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS) is holding its annual conference “Fusion: Collaboration with Impact” at the Adelaide Convention Centre, 19 – 21 September 2007. Elsewhere in this newsletter are details of the DVC’s grants for College staff to attend Fusion 2007. I would urge you to attend this conference if at all possible. It provides a wonderful opportunity for you to attend sessions on all aspects of research administration, to learn more about our profession and to network with colleagues from other universities and organizations who face the same issues and problems that we have to deal with. Remember the ANU has corporate membership of ARMS and all research management staff at ANU are eligible to take advantage of this membership. If you haven’t already advised the RO of your interest in being registered as part of that membership please email Ronsley Gardner (Ronsley.Gardner@anu.edu.au). Also don’t forget next week’s ARC/NHMRC Forum, an opportunity to learn about the details of ARC and NHMRC grants as well as to network with research management colleagues from other universities.
