Welcome to Brisbane, the vibrant capital city of Queensland, Australia, which serves as the proud host of our upcoming symposium. This October, Brisbane is not just a hub for academic and professional exchange, but also a city alive with the spectacular bloom of Jacarandas. These striking purple blossoms frame our city streets and parks with their vivid colors, creating a picturesque setting for our gathering. Known for its friendly atmosphere, excellent cuisine, and a wealth of cultural attractions, Brisbane offers an ideal backdrop for both exchange and leisure. We look forward to seeing you here, where inspiration meets beauty in the heart of one of Australia's most dynamic cities.
