SUMMARY:Site visit: Oceaneering subsea engineering facility
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Future of Subsea Engineering and Offshore Technology with Oceaneering. Join us for an exclusive industrial visit to Oceaneering Australia\, a global leader in subsea engineering\, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology\, asset integrity management\, and offshore engineering solutions. Operating from its Jandakot facility in Western Australia\, Oceaneering develops and delivers innovative technologies that support the inspection\, maintenance\, repair\, and integrity management of critical subsea infrastructure for the offshore energy industry. \nHosted by the Engineers Australia Mechanical College\, this industrial visit offers a unique opportunity to gain firsthand insights from Oceaneering engineers into the engineering challenges associated with operating and maintaining subsea assets in some of the world’s most demanding environments. Participants will develop an understanding of the complexity of subsea pipeline inspection and repair activities\, including the influence of deepwater conditions\, corrosion\, accessibility\, operational risks\, and stringent safety requirements. \nThe visit will also provide valuable exposure to the role of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other advanced submersible technologies used for subsea inspection\, intervention\, and repair\, highlighting how these systems enable engineers to safely perform complex offshore operations that would otherwise be impossible for human divers.

SUMMARY:METS Technology Showcase: The Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippines is seeking to transform its mining sector into a key economic growth engine. It is one of the world’s most mineral-rich countries\, with significant deposits of nickel\, copper\, gold and other minerals essential to global industry and the energy transition. \nWhile the opportunities are significant\, the Philippines’ geology and terrain present distinctive technical characteristics\, such as complex nickel laterite orebodies with variable grades\, a tropical climate\, harsh terrain\, and atypical porphyry copper-gold geology. These conditions call for specialised innovation\, technology and expertise\, creating a strong alignment with the world-leading solutions offered by the Australian METS industry. \nThis webinar will feature five world-leading Australian METS companies as they explore the innovations being implemented at mining operations globally to control orebody grades\, reduce variability\, and support more productive and profitable mines. \nPresentations will showcase solutions driving operational value in areas such as: \n\nSensor-based ore sorting & grade control for nickel laterite and copper-gold blending\nGeometallurgy & mineralogical characterisation for variable\, weathered ore bodies\nFlowsheet optimisation for nickel feed preparation and porphyry copper-gold circuits\nRecovery improvement technologies such as flotation\, separation and beneficiation\nReal-time process control\, plant data analytics & digital twins for metallurgical performance\nManaging water\, tailings and waste for complex orebodies\n\nJoin this Webinar to understand the opportunities to foster mining technology collaboration between Australia and The Philippines.

SUMMARY:Event Invitation: Defence Innovation on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Explore human performance\, neuroscience and emerging technologies shaping future Defence\, from AI and robotics to resilience and innovation.\n\n\n\n\nDefence capability is changing rapidly. AI\, autonomy\, robotics\, quantum\, cyber\, space and advanced technologies are transforming how the defence industry operates — and fundamentally changing what we ask of people. The 2026 National Defence Strategy puts people and capability at the heart of Defence’s future\, while the new Defence Innovation\, Science and Technology Strategy highlights the role of research and innovation in delivering that future capability. So where does human performance fit? \nJoin us for an evening of ideas and connections as we explore one of the defining questions for future Defence capability: How do we enable people to perform at their best when the environment around them is changing faster than ever? \nWe’ll ask: \n\nHow do we optimise human performance in complex\, high-pressure environments?\nWhat happens to human decision-making\, resilience and performance as technology becomes more sophisticated?\nWhat new capabilities and skills will people need?\nWhere can research make a measurable difference?\nHow do we turn innovation into real-world Defence capability?\n\nFrom human performance and neuroscience to AI\, robotics\, autonomy and advanced technologies\, the conversation will explore the challenges — and opportunities — ahead.

SUMMARY:Building and selling a product that didn’t have a category - with Michael Kuzma.
DESCRIPTION:Michael Kuzma spent more than seven years building robotic self-playing guitars before figuring out if anyone would actually want one. \nIn this session\, Michael will share the practical lessons learned while creating and selling a product that sits somewhere between robotics\, music\, engineering and art. Working largely solo from Perth\, he went from having no clear market\, to viral attention\, to thousands of low-quality enquiries\, and eventually to a small number of highly qualified buyers around the world. \nThe journey forced him to rethink pricing\, marketing\, storytelling\, and what a sustainable business actually looks like when your product does not fit neatly into an existing category. \nMichael will unpack how he turned polarising online attention into global exposure\, redesigned his sales process to filter serious buyers from curious onlookers\, and learned to position a strange\, high-end hardware/art product for international customers willing to pay for it.

SUMMARY:Farming in Two Worlds: Integrating Physical and Digital Agriculture - Lecture by Prof Salah Sukkarieh
DESCRIPTION:2025 Hector and Andrew Stewart Memorial Lecture by Prof Salah Sukkarieh\nAll members of the public are invited to attend this exclusive lecture hosted by The UWA Institute of Agriculture. It will be delivered by Salah Sukkarieh\, Professor of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at the University of Sydney\, and focused on ‘Farming in Two Worlds: Integrating Physical and Digital Agriculture‘ at UWA Bayliss Lecture Theatre G33. \nDrawing on current research and implementation\, the talk will highlight how real-time robotics in the field\, Internet of Things (IoT) sensing networks\, and AI-driven analytics are transforming everything from soil and water management to crop and animal monitoring and farm labour. It will examine how the digitisation of models – often referred to as Digital Twins – can operate in parallel with real-time sensing systems\, providing a framework for forecasting\, scenario testing\, and timely interventions. \nThe lecture will present real-world case studies demonstrating how these technologies are already being applied in farming systems across scales and contexts. The lecture sets out a vision in which the integration of physical and digital domains enables agriculture to become more responsive\, sustainable\, and resilient in the face of complex challenges.

SUMMARY:Exploring Automation Pathways for the Grains Industry
DESCRIPTION:Join for an engaging panel discussion as part of the GRDC Grain Automate Project\, where we explore how the grains industry can accelerate its journey toward automation. \nGRDC’s Vision: To empower 80% of Australian grain growers with the knowledge\, skills\, data\, infrastructure\, and governance needed to successfully integrate autonomous field-based agricultural machines into their farming systems. \nSeminar Focus: To help achieve this ambitious goal\, the following questions will be asked:What can the grains industry learn from other sectors that have successfully adopted automation? What challenges did they face – and how do those compare to the hurdles in grains? How can their experiences inform the grains sector on their pathway to increased automation? \nThis is a unique opportunity to hear from experts across industries\, on how we can shape the future of more autonomous grains farming in Australia. \nWho Should Attend: Growers\, agronomists\, researchers\, tech developers\, and anyone interested in the future of agricultural automation.
