SUMMARY:Opportunities for WA METS in the Americas
DESCRIPTION:Austmine\, in partnership with Invest & Trade Western Australia\, invites Western Australian METS companies to explore the latest opportunities and emerging trends within the Americas mining industry. \nThe mining markets across the Americas represent some of the most dynamic growth opportunities for Australian METS companies\, driven by robust investment pipelines\, strategic resource portfolios and a strong shift towards innovation and sustainability. \nLatin America – particularly Chile and Peru – continues to attract significant foreign investment with a broad mix of copper\, gold\, zinc\, lithium and other critical minerals underpinning long-term demand\, while national governments are actively seeking partnerships to modernise operations and adopt cutting-edge technologies. \nIn North America\, the United States and Canada remain lucrative markets with established mining sectors that offer a familiar business environment\, strong appetite for innovation and numerous growth corridors – from automation and digital solutions to sustainability services. \nThis webinar will showcase where and how Western Australian innovation can thrive in the Americas’ expanding mining landscape. \nPanel discussion with successful WA Exporters: \n\nBrianna Peake\, Investment and Trade Commissioner for the Americas\, Invest & Trade Western Australia\nRobert Trzebski\, Director International Business\, Austmine\nSheldon Varcoe\, International Projects Manager\, Austmine

SUMMARY:MRIWA: Why Do We Need Minerals Research?
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the mining life cycle offers students a powerful real‑world example of why STEM skills matter. From exploration to closure and even beyond—every stage relies on scientific research\, creative problem‑solving\, and evidence‑based environmental stewardship. This event will unpack how geoscientists\, chemists\, engineers\, data analysts\, ecologists and innovators work together to find minerals more sustainably\, minimise impact\, protect ecosystems\, and restore land long after mining ends. \nBy showing students how scientific thinking drives cleaner technologies\, greener processes\, and smarter resource use\, we can inspire the next generation of STEM leaders to imagine and create the low‑footprint mines of the future. Join us to discover how minerals research can energise your science classroom and empower students to tackle global sustainability challenges. \nThrough inspiring keynotes\, interactive panels\, and honest conversations\, we’ll challenge misconceptions and empower students to see minerals research as a pathway to meaningful\, real‑world impact. \nWe invite you and your students to register your interest in our inaugural event\, designed to spark curiosity\, encourage lateral thinking\, and support aspiring young leaders as they imagine the low‑footprint\, environmentally responsible mines of the future.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: AusSRC HPC Funding Applications Close
DESCRIPTION:The Australian SKA Regional Centre (AusSRC) is proud to launch the Astronomy Resources for Industry Applications (ARIA) Program\, a new initiative designed to accelerate innovation through access to high-performance computing (HPC).\nAusSRC 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 telescopes – the two most advanced radio telescopes in the world\, located in Australia and South Africa.\nOne of AusSRC’s goals is to support discovery and delivery of impact beyond radio astronomy. By working with industry to foster data-intensive innovations across sectors\, AusSRC aims to leverage astronomy capabilities to generate broad benefits to the Australian economy and community. \nThe ARIA Program has been established to provide Australian start-ups and small to medium businesses with access to HPC resources to enable innovation in products and services aligned with key technical priorities. \nFor the 2026 inaugural funding round\, AusSRC will support projects focused on: \n\nData Management\nData Visualisation\nData Compression\n\nWe are seeking applications from SMEs and start-ups that would benefit from HPC capability but face barriers accessing research-based or large-scale infrastructure schemes. \nApplications are open to organisations from any industry excluding astronomy that can demonstrate how covering HPC-related expenses would directly enable innovation in one or more of the priority areas. \nFor a full explanation of the ARIA Program\, please refer to the ARIA Program Guidelines and ARIA Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
