SUMMARY:Australia Hydrogen Day – 5th (Inter)National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day
DESCRIPTION:On the 8th of October\, as the world marvels at the significance of the number 1.008 – the atomic weight of Hydrogen – we in Australia celebrate our vision\, our commitment\, and our journey in leading the hydrogen revolution. \nIn 2015\, the United States lit the beacon\, marking the inauguration of the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day. Four years later\, in 2019\, Innovate Australia picked up that mantle\, pioneering the first Australian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day under its Hydrogen Society of Australia program. An initiative that blazed its own trail\, becoming an independent entity and taking the solemn pledge to organize and champion the October 8th events year after year. \nWith the collective passion and dedication of the Hydrogen Society of Australia\, Innovate Australia\, and Murdoch University\, our commitment to the hydrogen future shines even more luminously. \nOur national ambition is crystal clear: by 2030\, we envision Australia not merely as a participant but as a beacon of leadership in the hydrogen domain. We’re dreamers with blueprints in hand. Our strategies are adaptive\, innovative\, and tangible. Our hydrogen hubs are the crucibles of transformation\, breeding innovation and synergizing our various energy sectors. And at the core of it all is an unwavering commitment to safety\, sustainability\, and shared prosperity. \nBut this isn’t just Australia’s narrative; it’s penned by every individual. We’re crafting a future where every Australian is a part of this luminous tale – from the metropolises to the heart of our regions. An industry that pledges growth\, job opportunities\, and a verdant\, cleaner environment awaits us. \nThis October 8th\, join us in this grand chapter. Celebrate the strides we’ve taken\, the milestones achieved\, and the limitless horizons that beckon. Together\, let’s write the future. Together\, let’s fuel a greener\, brighter tomorrow. \nAustralia Hydrogen Day – Where history\, science\, and promise converge. \n\n\n\n\nFive years ago Hydrogen Society of Australia brought the event Down Under\, making it Australia’s first (Inter)National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day and the very first October 8th official celebration outside the United States.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ethics & Social Licence in the Blue Economy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss ethics\, integrity and social acceptance in the Blue Economy\, delving into the nature of ‘integrity systems’ and their importance along with exploring the social license to operate.\n\n\n\nSocial license to operate in itself can have different meanings to different people and can be used in ways that are ethically constructive or ethically problematic. \nPresentation 1: Ethics and integrity in the Blue Economy\nPresented by: Professor Charles Sampford\, IEGL Director: Institute for Ethics\, Governance & Law\, Griffith University \nThis presentation will discuss the nature of ethics and integrity for individuals\, institutions\, profit-seeking enterprises\, and overall systems\, emphasizing the importance of ‘integrity systems’. An integrity system is the sum total of all elements in a system\, including laws\, incentives\, standards\, institutions and ethical norms. These elements\, and their relations and interactions\, shape behaviour and deliver outcomes. The system has integrity if it delivers on its promise: on the values that justify it. A Blue Economy integrity system is therefore made up of the ethical norms\, laws\, organisations\, and market forces in the marine industry space that determine whether the system will live up to the high ideals it seeks to achieve. \nPresentation 2: Social licence in the Blue Economy\nPresented by: Dr Hugh Breakey\, Senior Research Fellow: Institute for Ethics\, Governance & Law\, Griffith University \nThe social license to operate (SLO) is an ambiguous term and a challenging feature of many contemporary industries\, including Blue Economy industries. This presentation will discuss different ways of understanding the SLO\, through definitions\, analogies\, and its absence. It will explore how the SLO can work (or fail to work) in different cases as an ethical tool\, activist weapon\, corporate shield\, or empty buzzword. It will describe four different strategies that give rise to different types of SLO (Genuine SLO; Strategic SLO\, Tick-box SLO; and Default SLO)\, each with different risk profiles.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Framework for Evaluating and Guiding Ocean Energy Technology Developments
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency (IEA) Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme published an International Evaluation and Guidance Framework for Ocean Energy Technology. The document intends to support international efforts by presenting a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity\, ensuring that decision-makers have consistent information available to them. \nInternational acceptance of a common approach to technology development and evaluation brings the following benefits: \n\nClarity in the expectations from different stakeholders during each stage of development\, bringing clearer communication.\nConsistency in the use of terminology\, and the process to evaluate technology\, ensuring a level playing field.\nStakeholders working together to build confidence and transparency in the sector.\nEfficient decision-making processes promoting direction of funding to the technologies with highest chances of commercial success.\nTechnology development processes consistent across the world\, leading to more international collaboration more globally transferrable technology.\nConsistent and coordinated application of other sources of technical guidance available in the ocean energy sector.\n\nThe framework applies to wave and tidal stream technologies\, but future versions will be expanded to other forms of ocean energy. \nThe invited presentations and speakers will provide: \n\nInformation about the IEA-OES Technology Collaboration Programme;\nThe objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, and the experience of national and international funders in its adoption.\nAn application of the framework in the development of Carnegie Clean Energy’s CETO technology toward commercialisation in the EuropeWave programme.\n\nPresentation 1: About the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme Presented by Professor Irene Penesis \nOcean Energy Systems (OES) is the short name for the Technology Collaboration Programme on Ocean Energy Systems\, an intergovernmental collaboration between countries\, founded in 2001\, which operates under a framework established by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. \nEstablished in 1974\, the International Energy Agency (IEA) carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation for its 29 member countries and beyond by examining the full spectrum of energy issues and advocating policies that will enhance energy security\, economic development\, environmental awareness and engagement worldwide. \nThe Blue Economy CRC is the member representing Australia. Professor Irene Penesis is the Australian Primary Delegate\, and Professor Christophe Gaudin (from University of Western Australia) is the Alternate Delegate. \nPresentation 2: Objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework presented by Jonathan Hodges \nIn this talk\, Jonathan Hodges will introduce the objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, including the updates soon to be released in a 2nd Edition. He will discuss the background of its production and share the experiences of national and international funders and their adoption of its recommendations in ocean energy funding programmes. \nPresentation 3: Development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme presented by Dr Alexandre Pichard \nCarnegie is the owner and developer of the CETO technology\, which captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence and electric machines to optimally control the device and generate electricity in the most efficient way possible. \nWe have a long history in ocean energy with a track record of world leading developments. We are using a staged approach to our technology development to minimise risk and cost along the pathway. The OES framework provides valuable guidance around the logical development steps and the associated evaluation criteria. It provides a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity \nCarnegie has been selected to progress the development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme. EuropeWave is an innovative R&D programme combining almost €20 million of national\, regional and EU funding to drive a competitive Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) programme for wave energy technology. The presentation will highly how Carnegie has been applying the OES framework withing the context of the EuropeWave programme. \nThe webinar will be facilitated by Professor Irene Penesis and presentations will be followed by Q&A.

SUMMARY:An evening with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub for an evening of conversation with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie (ApiJect). \n\n\n\nJoin the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub for an evening of conversation with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie about developing innovative drug delivery devices for the global healthcare market and the ApiJect story. Refreshments and networking to follow. \nEvery year\, more than 1 million people are killed due to syringe reuse and unsafe injection practices in healthcare facilities. \nIn the 1980’s\, Marc’s innovative auto-disable syringe prevented the spread of disease and infection\, helping save more than 12 million lives. Marc is now co-founder and Head of R&D of ApiJect Systems\, a company developing an innovative new drug delivery platform with the potential to enable more liquid medicines and vaccines to safely reach more patients across the world. \nMarc is joined by ApiJect’s Senior Advisor\, Manufacturing Philip Leslie\, whose exceptional service of more than 30 years’ pharmaceutical manufacturing experience has seen him inducted into Victoria’s Manufacturing Hall of Fame in 2017. \nAgenda \n6:00pm Registration \n6:15pm Presentation \n6:30pm Fireside chat with Marc and Philip moderated by Tracey Wilkinson \n7:15pm Networking \n8:00pm Event close \nAbout ApiJect \nIn the mid-1980s\, Mr Marc Koska invented the revolutionary K-1 auto-disable syringe\, which prevented the spread of bloodborne diseases and infection by making the syringe impossible to reuse. It is believed his invention has helped to save more than 12 million lives. Watch his 2009 TED Talk here. \nIn 2005\, he founded the nonprofit SafePoint Trust to educate children in developing nations about the dangers of employing used needles. Among many other honors bestowed upon Marc\, he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his “contribution to global healthcare.” \nIn 2015\, Marc founded ApiJect Ltd and invented a breakthrough Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) injection device. The Prefilled ApiJect Injector is designed for simplicity: just prior to injection\, a fill-finished Blow-Fill-Seal container and intramuscular needle hub are push-twisted together by a healthcare professional. \nThis new drug delivery platform has the potential to enable more liquid medicines and vaccines to safely reach more patients across the world. \nToday\, ApiJect Systems is a medical technology company working to improve how sterile liquid medicines and vaccines are fill-finished across the world. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, contact Rebekah Crags at rebekah.craggs@mtpconnect.org.au

SUMMARY:Circular Economy: Learnings from Europe
DESCRIPTION:Online Webinar – The Gifts of Circularity\nAustralia\, New Zealand and our Asia/Pacific neighbours can learn a great deal from members of the European Union (EU) where the transition towards a circular economy is already underway. This was an obvious takeaway from a recent European Study Tour organised by the Australian Circular Economy Hub and Planet Ark\, which derived significant learnings from the Netherlands\, Sweden\, France and the UK as well as the World Circular Economy Forum in Helsinki\, Finland. \nIn the second webinar of this series\, we are joined by three circular economy practitioners who joined the ACE Hub Study Tour Delegation. Moderated by Planet Ark’s Nicole Garofano\, we will hear from Bronwyn Voyce\, Founder of Civic Futures Lab\, Emily Dunstan\, Chief Growth Officer at Sustainability Victoria and Hayley Jarick\, CEO of the Supply Chain Sustainability School. \nIn this webinar\, our speakers will share their reflections on the strategic policy directions underway in the EU and discuss how education supports circular economy adoption across all businesses\, including SMEs. They will unpack how value-chain collaboration and industrial symbiosis are enabling circular adoption and acceleration. \n\n  \nNicole Garofano is the Head of Circular Economy Development for Planet Ark. Nicole is leading the ongoing strategic development of the Australian Circular Economy Hub. For almost 20 years\, Nicole has worked in environmental education and action with a focus on waste management and a circular economy. \nBronwyn Voyce is the founder of Civic Futures Lab\, an impact lab helping leaders make sense of complexity\, navigate uncertainty\, and deepen their impact in tackling climate change. She works with governments and ASX-listed corporations to accelerate their transition to net zero through ESG strategy development\, policy design and circular program delivery. Bronwyn led the development and delivery of the global first program to divert banned surplus single-use plastics from landfill\, through the “Great Plastic Rescue” diverting over 60\,000 tonnes of obsolete stock from landfill. \nEmily Dunstan is the Chief Growth Officer at Sustainability Victoria. From starting out in zoology and animal behaviour\, Emily has spent over sixteen years working in education\, science communication\, behaviour change and insights\, strategic planning and social impact. Her work has taken her from zoos to schools to humanitarian organisations and finally state government. She loves working out why people do the things they do\, and how we can help our communities take on more pro-environmental action – in ways that make sense to them. The Strategy\, Research and Growth group’s role is to ensure Sustainability Victoria’s programs are future ready\, responsive to emergent trends\, opportunities\, and risks and getting Victoria to an economy that is circular and clean\, as fast as possible. \nHayley Jarick is the Company Secretary and CEO of the Supply Chain Sustainability School Limited\, an Independent Director of ResponsibleSteel\, Chair of Planet Ark’s Australian Circular Economy Hub Procurement Working Group\, and within WWF’s Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders Alliance (MECLA)\, a Project Control Group (PCG) member and Chair of two working groups; steel and knowledge. Hayley completed her MBA at the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) and Bachelor of Commerce\, majoring in International Business and Legal Studies\, at the University of Wollongong\, Australia.  \n

SUMMARY:CSIRO: Sustainability Science Series
DESCRIPTION:How can we drive multiple sustainability outcomes simultaneously? Professor Andy Stirling and discussants\nRequired shifts to a more sustainable society mean working on many fronts at once. This can be overwhelming. There are many potential drivers of change\, just as there are many forms of incumbency and inertia that need to be overcome. This complexity can lead individuals and organisations\, understandably\, to ‘stick to their knitting’ and focus on piecemeal contributions. In turn\, a narrow focus can result in disjointed\, uncoordinated and fractured activities that lead to ‘unintended’ outcomes. Potential examples are numerous: the scaling of a critical minerals industry in Australia could have diverse social\, cultural and environmental consequences\, depending on how it is developed and implemented; the use of the land sector to off-set other sectors creates diverse risks for farming communities and food security; the shift to an electrified urban transport system could have very differing consequences for health and equity depending on which options are prioritised\, by whom. \nNavigating such uncertainties can be usefully aided by linking approaches that work in different ways to steer outcomes. This is the argument of our guest speaker\, Professor Andy Stirling. With his colleagues\, Andy has explored how different approaches to driving sustainability can be considered together\, and potentially\, operate synergistically. \nIn this talk Andy will provide an overview of these approaches\, how they can be understood and applied synergistically\, and his current thinking and analysis about options for linking structural\, systemic and enabling approaches in different settings. Structural approaches relate to deep changes in the ways consumption and production are governed\, organised and enacted. Systemic approaches focus on interactions and interdependencies across institutions (e.g. policies)\, technologies\, and wider social processes to steer change in complex systems. Enabling approaches focus on people\, their values and goals\, and collective capacities to navigate and act to create preferred futures. \nAndy’s talk will be followed by an engaging\, moderated discussion with leaders in CSIRO and beyond\, to explore the implications and potential to link integrate these approaches in applied work. Our speaker\, discussants and moderator are introduced below. \n\n\nPricing\n\n\nFREE \n\n\n\n\nDates and Times\n\nEvent date:Feb 2024\n\nWednesday 14 Feb 2024\nOnline virtual event \n8.30am to 9.30am AEDT \nLogin details will be emailed to registrants

SUMMARY:CSIRO: Human Rights and AI – a new impact assessment tool
DESCRIPTION:The National AI Centre is delighted to host the Australian Human Rights Commissioner\, Lorraine Finlay\, and Head of Privacy & Data Ethics for National Australia Bank\, Jade Haar\, in a discussion about a new tool to help organisations consider and measure the risk to human rights posed by AI systems. \nAI has the capabilities to improve efficiency and increase customer satisfaction when engaging with banking services. However\, given the important role banks play in storing the wealth of Australians\, it is important that when integrating AI into decision-making it is done ethically and with human rights at the forefront. \nThe Australian Human Rights Commission have partnered with NAB to develop and produce this human rights impact assessment tool. \nThis tool can be used to assess whether an AI system is lawful\, transparent\, explainable\, used responsibly\, and subject to appropriate human oversight\, review\, and intervention. \nDuring this free webinar you will hear how the tool was developed\, how it can be used and what Australian businesses can learn from its development.
