The Insect Apocalypse - save them save humankind
2019-08-10 14:00 - 17:00 | All Saints Church, 466 Glenferrie Road, Kooyong, VIC, 3144, Australia
Learn about using science in your garden to save the planet. Due to climate change our world faces mass extinctions of our smallest animals – insects. So, who cares? Surely, we are better off without flies, mosquitoes, spiders and ugh! bugs. Not so – each tiny insect plays a vital role.
Join our Space Science expert Lachlan Thompson for a talk and Bug Safari. Learn about using science in your garden to save the planet. Due to climate change our world faces mass extinctions of our smallest animals – insects. So, who cares? Surely, we are better off without flies, mosquitos, spiders and ugh! bugs. Not so – each tiny insect plays a vital role in the health of our gardens, food crops. Ultimately healthy bugs equal healthy food for us. Bees we recognise as important for pollination yet they are rapidly declining and dying out. Human use of insecticides, plastics and other chemicals are partly to blame.
What are our options? How can each of us help these tiny warriors for good food crops? Who lives in our garden and where? What can I do to help bugs live in my yard and help the environment without the bugs annoying me? Join Professor Thompson in our science week talk to find who and what lives in your garden why we need them and how to help them.
Talk and activities can be used towards Scouts World Conservation Badge.

The Universe and the Future of Space
2019-08-10 19:00 - 20:00 | Briars Outdoor Education Camp, 450 Nepean Highway, Mount Martha, VIC, Australia
In the past few decades, rapid progress in technology has led to a complete change in our view of the Universe. In the next few decades, this will change even more as we become an inter-planetary species.
Dr Brad Tucker will talk about some of these discoveries, from planets around other stars, to exploring the Universe and maybe even visiting other planets, and show we are now turning science fiction into reality.
Dr Brad Tucker is an Astrophysicist/Cosmologist, and currently a Research Fellow at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Mt. Stromlo Observatory and the National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU. Brad received Bachelor’s degrees in Physics, Philosophy, and Theology from the University of Notre Dame. He then undertook a PhD at Mt. Stromlo Observatory at the Australian National University.
He is currently working on projects trying to discover the true nature of dark energy, the mysterious substance causing the accelerating expansion of the Universe, which makes up 70% of the Universe. He’s one of the leads of the Kepler Extra-Galactic Survey, a Kepler Space Telescope Key Program, to understand why and how stars blow up. He is also leading a project to build a network of ultraviolet telescopes in the upper atmosphere, which are being built at Mt. Stromlo, a search to find Planet 9 – a hypothetical new planet on the edges of our Solar System, as well as a new mission to capture and mine an asteroid.

Dr Darlene Lim - NASA Geobiologist
2019-08-11 11:00 - 12:00 | Mornington Peninsula Libraries, Vancouver Street, Mornington, VIC, 3931, Australia
For centuries, the red planet has fired our imaginations; composers, authors, poets and more have all offered their tributes to the bringer of war.
Now, science has brought us to the very cusp of visiting Mars. Getting there, however, is only half of the battle. When humans set foot on Mars, what will they do? How will they explore? How will they survive?
Over the past decade, NASA teams have been working at analogs, destinations on Earth that simulate Mars mission conditions, to build capabilities for human and human-robotic missions to the Moon, into deep space, and on Mars.
In this talk, Dr Darlene Lim shares her experiences working under simulated mission conditions in the Arctic, the Antarctic, and underwater where she has piloted submersibles as a scientist and explorer.
Two on-going NASA analog programs on which Dr Lim will focus are BASALT (Biologic Analog Science Associated with Lava Terrains), and SUBSEA (Systematic Underwater Biogeochemical Science and Exploration Analog). These missions aim to solve a number of unique challenges that are not encountered during typical scientific field expeditions, such as extreme environmental conditions and communication delays. Only once we have mastered these challenges can we walk among the red dunes of Mars.
Join us at this special event to uncover the secrets to exploring other planets, hidden in the least hospitable parts of our own.

Coffee in Space

The fishbowl is preceded by public lectures by scientists which summarise and extend the science behind coffee.
This event uses the light-hearted premise of making coffee in space to engage the public in the serious science and technology around space travel. The event’s activities emphasise the collaborative nature of scientific problem solving, regional engagement, and Science as a Human Endeavour.

Innovation & SMES - ideas to reality: business engagement with CRCs
2019-08-13 09:30 - 11:30 | Deloitte Australia, 550 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
The engagement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) helps to build a culture of innovation, and therefore increased productivity and global competitiveness through all levels of the Australian industry.
CRCs are engines of innovation for Australia. An initiative of the Australian Government, CRCs bring together the best minds from research and industry to work as a team. Together, and driven by the needs of private, public or community end-users, CRCs turn research results into products, services and technologies and address national priorities within a local and global context.
It is up to a CRC’s participants to decide on the approach which best suits their particular industry or sector. (SMEs) are a major pathway for innovation because of their flexibility in taking up new opportunities; this flexibility can lead to an important role in commercialising or utilising the research outputs of a CRC.
Presenters

Dr Tony Peacock, CEO at CRC Association ‘CRC & CRC-P(Project) Programs’
Cameron van den Dungen, CEO at Sleeptite ‘CRC-P Experience’
Ian Christensen, Managing Director at iMOVE Australia ‘DURING CRC – Collaborating in CRC’
Brett Carter, Chief Executive Officer, Cancer Therapeutics CRC ‘AFTER CRC – It’s over, what’s next?’
David Norman, CEO at Future Fuels CRC Ltd ‘BEFORE CRC – Starts with an Idea’

Benefits of CRC Engagement for SMEs

involvement with a CRC can be a cost-effective way to participate in and benefit from research that might otherwise be beyond their reach
increases opportunities to network with key players in the industry and in research institutions
can offer a wider understanding of cutting edge technology/new developments in a particular field
increases opportunities for training and professional development to facilitate the adoption of new processes, new technologies, new management practices
enhances prospects to take market advantage of new developments, improve productivity, competitiveness and access to global supply chains

SMEs as CRC Participants
SMEs are participants in CRCs and engage with CRCs at different levels. In some situations, SME participants have been able to make a significant contribution and commitment to the CRC, in line with the level of engagement of other participants. More commonly, SMEs have been engaged on a smaller scale level, becoming involved with individual projects or for limited periods of time without taking on a major commitment to the broader governance and management of the CRC. SMEs can be research project service providers, research end-users, or a combination of both.
SME Spin-off Companies as CRC Participants
As part of a CRC’s commercialisation and utilisation activities, a company may be created or spun-off from a CRC to commercialise new intellectual property. If this commercialisation process is successful and creates a revenue stream, the spun-off SME company may see value in itself becoming a CRC participant.
