Cultural Acknowledgements
The University of Technology, Sydney, acknowledges the Cadigal and Guring-gai people of the Eora Nation upon whose ancestral lands the University now stands.
The University recognises Indigenous Australian people as the first people of this continent, and understands that the history and knowledge developed over many thousands of years by Indigenous Australian people was severely disrupted at the time of early colonial settlements. The past two hundred years have left many Indigenous people at the crossroads with poor health, education and employment prospects.
This Statement of Reconciliation is to reassert an ongoing commitment by the University to provide educational opportunities in the higher education sector for Indigenous people and, through research and education, the restoration of their histories and knowledge systems.

The 4Rs Conference organisers acknowledge the Traditional Owners and look forward to their participation in the conference.
The 4Rs Conference organisers also recognise that the conference begins at the time of Eid ul-Fitr and Rosh Hashanah. Speakers or delegates who need a special timetable for their contributions should contact the organisers.
