SUMMARY:Beyond the Bite series: Biologicals – a glimpse into the future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second webinar in ATSE’s Agriculture and Food Forum series\, Biologicals – a multi-part series exploring the future of Australian food and agriculture\, from nutrition and sustainability to biosolutions\, productivity and value-added innovation. \n‘Biologicals’ is the name for a suite of existing and novel crop protection and plant health tools that includes biopesticides (living\, dead or derived natural products)\, biological agents such as natural enemies\, and biofertilizers. In the second webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, Biologicals – a glimpse into the future features a diverse panel spanning research\, industry\, end user and international experts unpacking both the promise and the practicalities of new bio products for agricultural productivity and safety. They will highlight opportunities and challenges across regulation\, scalable manufacturing\, cost and real-world adoption of biosolutions. Critically\, the discussion will connect these innovations to the broader imperative of strengthening food and nutritional security\, ensuring sustainable solutions can be delivered at scale for real impact on the ground.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Blue Economy Symposium (OMAE 2026 Tokyo)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight four presentations from the Blue Economy Symposium held at the OMAE 2026 conference in Tokyo\, Japan\, providing an opportunity to hear high-quality research and gain insights from industry leaders on the current and future directions of the Blue Economy.\n\nPRESENTATION 1: Development of an Integrated CFD Framework for Simulating Artificial Upwelling and Flexible Kelp Dynamics in Offshore Environments. Presented by Ali Motamedinezhad\, PhD Candidate\, at AMC/UTAS.\nPRESENTATION 2: Decarbonising Offshore Wind Operations: A Conceptual Design of Hydrogen Power Systems for a Service Operation Vessel (SOV). Presented by Dr Hongjun Fan\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, at AMC/UTAS.\nPRESENTATION 3: A brief review of large offshore aquaculture facilities in China. Presented by Dr. Xiangfeng GUO\, Associate Professor\, at South China University of Technology.\nPRESENTATION 4: Power Absorption of Axisymmetric and Asymmetric Float Shapes in Regular and Irregular Waves: An Experimental Investigation With a PTO. Presented by Reza Abassi\, PhD Candidate at UQ.\n\nFollowed by Q&A facilitated by Prof Irene Penesis\, Research Director at the Blue Economy CRC and Dr Yunil Chu\, Research Fellow\, The University of Queensland. \nThe long-term strategy of the Blue Economy is aimed at unlocking the potential of the ocean resources through the sustainable development of offshore seafood and renewable energy production systems. This Blue Economy symposium was initiated in the OMAE@42nd International Conference on Ocean\, Offshore & Arctic Engineering\, held in Melbourne in 2023. Owing to its success\, the symposium has become a permanent feature symposium in OMAE\, covering emerging technologies in the context of the blue economy with a focus on aquaculture and renewable energy applications.

SUMMARY:MRIWA WEBINARS: CRITICAL MINERALS & TAILINGS VALORISATION SERIES
DESCRIPTION:Resilient Value Chains for the Energy Transition: A Circular Economy approach on Critical Battery Materials with Dr Stéphanie Riché & Dr Caroline Celle\nJoin us for our new international monthly webinar series where we speak with researchers from around the globe who are advancing the fields of critical minerals and tailing valorisation. \nThe energy transition is known to be intensive in critical raw materials and must not lead to replacing the current dependence on fossil fuels with a dependence on raw materials. It must be based on assumed sovereignty over the necessary materials and a quest toward resource efficiency at each stage of a circular economy of materials. This presentation will first illustrate how supply/demand and supply chain risk analysis can support national and European strategies. It will also illustrate how key-enabling technologies can facilitate the transformation of linear material value chains into circular ones. \nThe second part of this presentation will focus on the circularity of battery materials. The replacement of critical materials for battery development is strategically addressed by developing new post Li-ion chemistries without Ni\, Co\, Li\, and Cu\, such as Na or K-ion batteries. Additionally\, the reuse of recycled inputs from production scraps or end-of-life batteries is being explored. Intensive research is ongoing to improve the electrochemical performance of high-energy-density batteries and to develop low-cost\, low-environmental-impact batteries. After a brief introduction to CEA’s R&D facilities\, the presentation will focus on the reuse of purified black mass lixiviates for the synthesis of advanced cathode active materials (PCAM and CAM). It will also evaluate the impact of the nature of impurities on overall performance.

SUMMARY:Perth AI Builders Get Together
DESCRIPTION:​Perth AI Builders is a new community meetup focused on the practical side of AI\, especially the fast-moving world of LLMs\, agentic workflows\, AI tooling and startup building. \n​At this session\, Marcus Holmes will be giving a talk on “how to use an LLM to actually build something”\, going through the process from simple chatbot copy/paste to multi-layered agentic coding. \n​This session is aimed at relatively inexperienced folks\, but as everyone has developed their own workflow\, even the more experienced vibe-coders may find something interesting here. And the principles shown here for software development can also be applied to other areas.
