Space and Astronomy Graduate Student Program: problems

Many issues relating to being a co-supervised student can be solved by talking with your Space and Astronomy or university supervisors or the Space and Astronomy Student Coordinator. If you do not wish to do this then look at the list of available Space and Astronomy contacts (see contacts page).

Students should report any issues to both their university supervisor and their CSIRO co-supervisor.
