Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners
Monash University’s Clayton Campus and the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) are located on the lands of the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. As an organisation, we respectfully acknowledge them as the Traditional Owners and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. We also pay our respects to the Elders and descendants of any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander communities visiting MCN in person or through events online.
