2022 marks the beginning of Brisbane’s sporting decade – in 10 years, our ‘big country town’ will be thrust onto the world stage.

Our next Global Leadership Series event offers a wide-ranging look at the fascinating research already underway at UQ in the field of sports science, from rehabilitation science and supporting para-sport champions to how Brisbane itself will change as a city.
