Riversymposium 2013: a bridge between food, water and energy

Food, water, and energy professionals must all share scarce freshwater resources. But do we share, or do we compete? And is the process constructive?

If you work in one of these sectors, you might’ve wondered if better integration is possible.

Find the answers at the 16th International Riversymposium. Food, water and energy professionals from across the globe will gather in Brisbane from September 23-26 to connect, learn from each other, and share solutions.

Asia Pacific Water Recycling Conference 2013

1-4 July 2013, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre

This conference provides the chance to hear the differing views on indirect and potable reuse of treated wastewater, learn to understand and inform public attitudes on recycled water, and most importantly hear about the positive response to the cost savings and environmental gains by reusing water they would otherwise have discharged. There will be an extensive and high quality program of papers from Australia and the Asia Pacific region focusing on new innovations and advances from research and field application.

2013 Floodplain Management Association National Conference

28 – 31 May 2013 Twin Town Clubs & Resorts, Tweed Heads NSW

National Floodplain Management – shared experiences, national solutions

Floodplain Managers from around the country applying lessons from recent times

The 2013 Floodplain Management Association Conference is going National and for the first time in Australia will bring together all the states and territories to share experiences and knowledge, and learn from recent floods. With major flooding occurring over much of Australia in recent years it is time for a national conference to review learning from these events, explore opportunities and develop national solutions. The conference will comprise outstanding keynote speakers, plenary sessions, panel discussions, concurrent sessions, field trips addressing floodplain issues in northern NSW and the Gold Coast, plus networking events.

This highlight of the annual science calendar in Australia is held at the unique National Heritage-listed Shine Dome in Canberra, which has been strongly associated with science in Australia since it was built in 1959

Every year, Australia’s foremost physical and biological scientists gather here to honour outstanding work in science. At Science at the Shine Dome, prestigious awards are presented, high achievers are admitted to the Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science, and a symposium is held on an issue of national importance. Scientists, policy makers, educators and the interested public are invited to attend.
