Programme Fellows
Throughout the AAIP we welcomed Programme Fellows from across the world who joined us from industry, other academic institutions and regulatory bodies
Each brought their own unique projects and, through their collaboration with the AAIP team, built new partnerships, contributed to the advancement of our research goals, and took new knowledge and skills back to their respective organisations.
