The Eidos Institute’s National Conference Series provides an opportunity for researchers and policy leaders to present, promote and disseminate worldclass research to a broad audience.

Eidos Foundation event 2 April, 2012 - Cocktails For a Cause The vision of tertiary exchange scholarships that provided opportunities for promising Indigenous and disadvantaged Australian and South African students was launched at this event. Cross-national gaps in higher education have significant implications for the quality of employment outcomes for disadvantaged Australians and South African students. In this light, the Eidos Institute is seeking to improve university enrolments and increase employment retention and career prospects for indigenous Australians and disadvantaged South Africans via the creation of tertiary exchange scholarships designed to enrich the student’s tertiary experience and ultimately create a leader within his/her community, thereby supporting a wave of generational change in both Australia and South Africa. The Eidos Tertiary Exchange program seeks to engage a range of stakeholders committed to excellence within tertiary education, sport and business partnerships to create uniquely-tailored scholarships for each candidate. The exchanges have a significant focus on providing opportunities for local and community engagement, in addition to a unique focus on the use of sport as a social bridge-builder. Specifically within this field, the program looks at providing mentoring opportunities through the support of the Australian rugby community and the Classic Wallabies (in Australia) and the Springbok Legends (in South Africa). 37
