SUMMARY:DEADLINE: AusSRC Science Enabling Projects EOIs
DESCRIPTION:AusSRC now invites the Australian SKA science community to submit Expressions of Interest for projects that could benefit from AusSRC science\, software\, infrastructure\, or operational support.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) is an un-incorporated joint venture between CSIRO – Australia’s national science agency\, Curtin University\, the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre and the University of Western Australia (UWA). \nFunded by the Australian Government\, AusSRC is Australia’s contribution to the international SKA Regional Centre Network (SRCNet). The SRCNet will support the global flow of data and processing needed for the SKA Observatory (SKAO) telescopes – the two most advanced radio telescopes in the world\, currently under construction in Australia and South Africa. \nThe AusSRC Science Enabling Projects\nAs part of a commitment to enabling the scientific output of the Australian SKA science community\, AusSRC supports a number of projects to build capabilities that will enable SKA science\, known as the AusSRC Science Enabling Projects (ASEPs). The ASEPs will help drive the expansion of scientific workflows and creation of new data-handling pipelines for processing and analysing large astronomical datasets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nProjects may use data from CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope\, the Curtin University-led Murchison Widefield Array (MWA)\, the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s (SARAO’s) MeerKAT telescope\, other SKA precursors\, SKA-related multi-wavelength datasets\, or contribute to community resources and broader SRCNet capabilities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the successful delivery of 8 projects in the inaugural round\, the second round of ASEPs will support projects that: \n\nAdvance Australian SKA precursor science\nContribute to SKA-readiness and SRCNet capabilities\nDevelop sustainable workflows\, software\, or services\nExpand Australia’s capability in radio astronomy\nDeliver impact beyond a single project or user\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the community moves closer to SKA Science Verification and SKA-era science\, this round will continue to support projects connected to SKA science\, SKA precursor data\, and broader SRCNet priorities. Learn more and apply here \nASEP Expressions of Interest (EoIs) open Wednesday 19 August 2026 and close 5pm AWST Wednesday 16 September 2026.

SUMMARY:MRIWA Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join MRIWA for the next instalment of the Critical Minerals & Tailings Webinar Series\, featuring leading researchers from SINTEF\, one of Europe’s largest independent research organisations and a global leader in applied research and innovation. \nAs demand for critical minerals continues to grow\, the industry faces increasing pressure to maximise resource efficiency\, recover valuable materials from waste streams\, and develop sustainable pathways for industrial by-products. This webinar will explore how innovation across the minerals value chain is helping to build a more circular and resilient resources sector. \nPresenters will share international research and practical examples spanning critical raw materials recovery\, industrial symbiosis\, circular resource use\, and the valorisation of mining and metallurgical by-products. Topics will include the recovery of critical and strategic minerals from waste streams and end-of-life products\, approaches to zero-emission metal production\, and opportunities to utilise industrial by-products in construction materials. \nThe webinar will feature insights from Ana Maria Martinez\, Chief Scientist and leader of SINTEF’s strategic initiative on minerals and critical raw materials; Casper van der Eijk\, Centre Director of the Zero Emissions Metal Production Research Centre; and Tobias Danner\, Senior Research Scientist specialising in the utilisation of industrial by-products and alternative construction materials. \nThis session will be valuable for mining and processing professionals\, researchers\, government stakeholders\, and anyone interested in advancing sustainable resource development\, circular economy outcomes\, and critical minerals value chains.

SUMMARY:Spotlight on Commercialisation - IP Basics
DESCRIPTION:Join for the next Spotlight on Commercialisation session to learn the fundamentals of intellectual property\, Curtin University’s approach to protecting research innovations and how decisions around patent filing align with an overall commercialisation strategy.\nYou’ll hear from Associate Professor Tejas Bhatelia\, a Chemical Engineering academic at Curtin with experience translating research from laboratory-scale concepts through prototyping\, intellectual property protection\, industry validation\, scale-up and commercialisation. Drawing on his experience developing SpiroPak\, an advanced structured packing technology originating from Curtin research\, Tejas will share an academic’s perspective on recognising the commercial potential of research and moving it towards practical application. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn: \n\n The fundamentals of intellectual property and Curtin’s approach;\nWhere patent protection fits within a broader commercialisation strategy;\nHow to recognise when research may have commercial potential;\nPractical lessons from an academic who has navigated the commercialisation journey.\n\nWhether you’re actively exploring commercialisation or simply curious about the potential of your research\, this session will provide a practical introduction to IP and the support available at Curtin.

SUMMARY:From Lab to Launch: Ablano's Nanomaterials in the New Space Economy
DESCRIPTION:Discover how WA-developed nanomaterials are moving from the laboratory into real-world space missions\, with Ablano and leading researchers.\nJoin WA Space Forum and Ablano for an inside look at the development and first spaceflight demonstration of Ablano’s boron nitride nanomaterial. \nRecently launched aboard a suborbital rocket from northern Sweden\, experimental panels coated with different concentrations of the material travelled to an altitude of 270 kilometres\, spending approximately six and a half minutes above the Kármán line before being recovered near Kiruna. \nThe panels have now returned to Australia for analysis at The University of Western Australia\, providing researchers with real-world data on how the material performs through the extreme conditions of launch and atmospheric descent. \nHear directly from the team behind the technology about the science of boron nitride nanomaterials\, how the flight experiment was developed\, what they hope to learn from the returned samples\, and the potential applications for more durable\, lightweight spacecraft and reusable launch systems. \nThe discussion will also explore the broader opportunity for Australian-developed advanced materials to become part of the global space supply chain.

SUMMARY:Grants\, Contracts & Commercialisation: Legal Essentials for Founders
DESCRIPTION:Securing funding and new commercial opportunities is exciting\, but the agreements founders sign early can have long-term implications for their business\, intellectual property and ability to grow. \n​Join Emma Walczak\, Principal of Trinitas Legal Services\, for a practical lunchtime workshop exploring the key legal considerations founders should understand when navigating grants\, commercial and collaboration agreements\, IP and commercialisation. \n​With more than 15 years’ experience advising businesses\, Emma will cut through the legal theory and focus on what founders actually need to know\, from understanding obligations attached to grant funding and spotting risky contract terms\, to protecting your ability to commercialise your ideas and knowing what is genuinely worth negotiating. \n​During the session\, you’ll learn how to identify common risks in funding and collaboration agreements\, navigate confidentiality and information-sharing requirements\, avoid unexpected financial or operational exposure\, and recognise legal or governance issues that could become barriers to future investment\, partnerships and growth. \n​This workshop is delivered by Spacecubed\, and designed for our current Sprint program cohorts including AI Founder Sprint\, City of Perth Sprint and AI Fellowship\, and is also open to founders and members of the wider community.
