SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar (MRIWA)
DESCRIPTION:The transition towards a circular and low-carbon economy requires innovative and integrated approaches to secure the supply of critical raw materials (CRMs). This presentation will focus on the development of advanced process routes for CRM recovery from primary and secondary resources\, while ensuring the valorisation of all process streams across the value chain. The work covers a holistic approach that integrates resource pre-treatment\, hydrometallurgical processing\, separation and refining steps\, as well as the treatment and reuse of process waters. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of sustainable and efficient recovery strategies that maximise resource efficiency\, reduce chemical consumption\, and minimise waste generation. \nThe use case presented is centred on lithium extraction from spodumene as a representative primary resource. This case demonstrates a validated TRL 5 process concept for sustainable lithium recovery\, combining selective processing strategies with integrated residue management. In addition to lithium production\, the approach enables the valorisation of the remaining solid residues\, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient flowsheet. \nAlthough the case study focuses on lithium\, the developed methodologies are transferable to other critical raw materials and are aligned with the increasing need for more sustainable mining and processing practices. Overall\, the presentation highlights how integrated process design can bridge efficiency\, sustainability\, and circularity in primary CRM production systems.

SUMMARY:AI Roundtable 2026: Governance\, Safety & Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Western Australia’s voices on the rules\, risks\, and real value of artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\n\nFive voices. One table. Two hours that matter.\nIn mid-2026\, every senior leader in Western Australia is being asked the same question: what does responsible artificial intelligence actually mean for my organisation\, my community\, and my obligations as a citizen? \nAI Roundtable 2026 is the WA AI Hub’s flagship public conversation on the rules\, risks and real value of artificial intelligence in Western Australia. For one afternoon\, five voices sit around one table for a moderated discussion followed by a practical workshop. No vendor pitch. No futurism. A working roundtable on what to do next. \nWhy this conversation\, why now\nAustralia has a Commonwealth Chief AI Officer mandate in force\, a Voluntary AI Safety Standard\, and a State AI Policy and Assurance Framework in Western Australia. Boards\, executives and senior public servants are all being asked to act\, often with limited internal capability and no precedent. This event puts the people setting the rules in the same room as the people working under them and the public who lives with the consequences. \nAround the table\n\nKate Chaney MP\, Independent Federal Member for Curtin. Among Australia’s most active parliamentary voices on AI and leading work on deepfakes in elections\, on automated decision-making safeguards in government\, and on AI-generated child sexual abuse material.\nProf. Sharath Sriram\, Chief Scientist Western Australia. WA’s fourth and most senior independent science advisor\, appointed in June 2025. Nanoelectronics researcher and Fellow of Engineers Australia\, with two decades of work translating research into industry.\nProf. Toby Walsh\, Chief Scientist of the UNSW AI Institute. ARC Laureate Fellow\, Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science\, and one of the world’s most cited AI researchers. Author of five books on AI for the general public\, most recently The Shortest History of AI (2025).\nJosh Tedjasaputra\, Founder & Chair\, WA AI Hub. Designer of the Responsible AI Governance Sprint and publisher of the Australia AI Business Index 2026. Adjunct at UNSW teaching Responsible AI and Human-Computer Interaction.\nFacilitated by Dr Eunice Sari\, Director of CX Insight and Adjunct Associate Professor at UNSW. First Asian female Google Developer Expert in Product Design and Strategy. Three decades of human-computer interaction practice across academia and industry.\n\nWho this is for\nSenior executives\, board directors\, public servants\, academics\, AI practitioners\, and any Western Australian who takes the future of AI in this State seriously enough to spend two hours thinking it through with others.
