Successful SRAP Retreat in Canberra


The association of Spanish Researchers in Australia-Pacific (SRAP) just had a wild gathering with representatives from Sydney, Queensland, and Canberra.
They reviewed all their hard work since the foundation of SRAP in 2015. and brainstormed where they want to take the association next. It was like watching a flock of hilarious geniuses in action! 🤓🚀
And guess what?
They’re not slowing down! SRAP is gearing up for some epic events during National Science Week. So, keep your eyes peeled! 👀🔬
Get ready to laugh, learn, and witness the awesomeness of SRAP 🔥😎
