What's new at the 2025 workshop?
We've tailored a program to broaden the reach of our workshop to trainees, and new and emerging researchers.
Day 1 - Friday 8 August 2025
Pre-workshop sessions
Ahead of the plenary program, we're running two sessions.
The first session is a dedicated mentoring session, allowing trainees and junior consultants and researchers to connect with CTN peers and leaders. The second session will feature a dynamic discussion on whether the ANZCA curriculum is equipping our trainees to be research literate and contribute to research and innovation.
Concurrent streams
The workshop officially opens with networking over lunch, giving delegates an opportunity to reconnect before diving into the program.
At the time of registration, delegates can choose between two concurrent streams with the aims to:
- Upskilling new and emerging researchers in research design and clinical trial methodology (stream 1).
- Providing research coordinators and teams with practical insights in trial coordination and research management (stream 2).
Keynote speakers
We are delighted to welcome our keynote speakers: Professor Katherine Lee, a leading statistician, and Dr Lisa Higgins, an expert methodologist. They will be sharing their insights on a wide range of topics, including implementation science, statistics, platform trials, and health economics.
Emerging Investigators Prize Session
We have introduced an Emerging Investigators Prize Session to help mentor delegates in developing research methodology whilst offering an emerging investigator a chance to win an academic prize.
Platform trials
Learn about the latest developments and funded studies in platform trials from the CTN.
Late breaking trials session
Hear first-hand the ROCKet trial results by Professor Philip Peyton.
Innovative trials and great debate
The meeting will conclude with a high energy, informative debate and panel discussion on the future of traditional RCTs and innovative trials in the CTN.
Government leaders
We are also excited to welcome Professor Steve Wesselingh, CEO of NHMRC, who will share the latest NHMRC funding opportunities.
Location and venue
The 2025 ANZCA CTN Strategic Research Workshop will be held at Stamford Grand Adelaide, 2 Jetty Rd, Glenelg SA 5045.

Call for abstracts - New research proposals
The purpose of the CTN workshop is to help in the design of high quality trials that translate into safe and effective practice in anaesthesia, perioperative and pain medicine. Proposals must therefore be directly relevant to this goal. Note that proposals for pilot work may be considered provided the pilot is specifically designed to gather information that would assist in the design of a larger trial. The primary aim of the CTN is to support multi-site trials however in exceptional circumstances the CTN workshop may consider single centre trials. Note that proposals that describe purely observational studies with only indirect relevance to future trials will not be considered.
Abstracts will be triaged for presentation based on the following guidelines:
The grant application deadline.
The new proposal focuses on the preparation of a clinical trial.
Proposals that are not clearly linked to a future clinical trial will not be sent for review.
Abstracts must state three key issues which you would like feedback from the group at the workshop either around methodology or feasibility.
Proposals will be selected by the reviewers who they think will benefit the most from the discussion at the face-to-face sessions and align with the strategic aims of the CTN.
Proposals will also be considered from principal investigators where they are seeking feedback on particular issues around the conduct of a trial that has already started in network.
Call for abstracts timelines – Including the Emerging Investigator Prize
- Call for abstract now open
- Submission deadline: 16 June 2025
- Author notification (workshop and prize session): 4 July 2025

Emerging Investigators Prize Session guidelines
The Emerging Investigators Prize session will take place on Friday 8th August, 2025, from 3.30 to 5.30pm.
The Emerging Investigator Prize at the 2025 ANZCA CTN Strategic Research Workshop is an exciting opportunity for early-career researchers in anaesthesia, pain, and perioperative medicine to showcase their work. This prestigious award recognises outstanding research contributions and aims to foster innovation and academic excellence within the ANZCA Clinical Trials Network. The winner will receive a $A1,000 prize and a certificate.
Applications will be assessed based on scientific merit, alignment with anaesthesia and pain research, and the potential to lead studies at Australian or New Zealand hospital sites.
To apply, researchers must submit an abstract through the CTN Workshop’s abstract submission process. Applications will be triaged by the ANZCA CTN Executive, with final selection based on eligibility and scientific merit. A judging panel, appointed by the ANZCA CTN Executive, will determine the winner based on a structured evaluation process outlined in the guidelines.
Please note: Applicants must be registered to attend the CTN workshop before the abstract submission deadline.
Guidelines: For more details on eligibility, submission requirements, and selection criteria, please view the guidelines.
