What makes us happy?
UWA is at the forefront of innovative research, finding answers to some of the compelling questions we face today.

The panel will explore how we create happiness and sustain it, and how the following factors influence our happiness:
- Nature versus nurture
- Health, wellbeing and art
- Money and materialism
