SUMMARY:Report Release: Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre invites you to a special sundowner for the release of our latest report\, Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition\nWestern Australia’s economy remains deeply anchored in its resources sector\, with iron ore continuing to underpin exports\, public revenues\, employment and living standards. But the global operating environment is shifting rapidly. Decarbonisation\, technological disruption and geopolitical fragmentation are reshaping resource-based economies worldwide. \nThis new Focus on Industry report examines how WA’s resources sector is adapting to these pressures\, and what this means for economic diversification\, fiscal sustainability and long-term prosperity. While the sector remains a source of strength\, it also faces growing structural pressures\, including rising costs\, infrastructure constraints\, concentrated supply chains and exposure to volatile global markets. The report also assesses the opportunities – and limits – of downstream processing\, critical minerals and low-emissions industries.

SUMMARY:Australia’s Environmental Data Mosaic: from complexity to national advantage
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s environmental evidence is expanding faster than our ability to assemble it. Satellites\, sensors\, ranger programs\, Defence monitoring and research infrastructures are generating unprecedented data. But fragmentation means critical insights remain locked in silos. \nMajor national decisions now depend on rapid\, trusted environmental intelligence. From the upcoming State of the Environment Report to Defence estate stewardship\, disaster‑risk planning and state land management\, organisations need data that is findable\, interoperable and ready for use at scale. \nThe cost of inaction is rising. Without a connected environmental data ecosystem\, Australia risks slower responses\, weaker accountability and missed opportunities to build sovereign capability in environmental intelligence. \nThis webinar brings together three speakers to confront a central question: how do we turn a fragmented environmental data landscape into a connected\, resilient\, national‑scale capability that serves reporting\, operations and long‑term stewardship? If you care about the long-term health of Australia’s land and the institutions that steward it\, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.

SUMMARY:Circular Design & Innovation: Empowering the Commercial Transition ahead of Climate Action Week
DESCRIPTION:Businesses are consuming more resources than ever — yet waste\, inefficiency and lost value remain built into how many products and systems are designed. As pressure mounts from climate targets\, procurement expectations and rising costs\, circular design is no longer a niche sustainability concept\, but a commercial imperative. \nThis webinar explores how circular thinking can be applied across design\, materials and business models to unlock efficiency\, reduce waste and create long-term value. From early design decisions through to production\, use and end-of-life\, the session will unpack how designers and businesses can move beyond linear approaches and embed circular principles in ways that are practical\, scalable and commercially viable. \nJoin us for a grounded\, real-world discussion featuring practitioners working at the intersection of innovation\, design and sustainability. Through case studies\, lived experience and panel discussion\, speakers will share what’s working\, what’s challenging\, and where the biggest opportunities lie for organisations ready to transition from intention to action.

SUMMARY:World Nuclear Energy Day 2025 - Australia December 2nd - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Showcasing Nuclear Energy in Australia and Around the Globe\n\n\n\nOnce again\, Innovate Australia proudly serves as the official Ambassador for World Nuclear Energy Day in 2025. For the fifth consecutive year\, they invite you to celebrate the remarkable advancements in technology and innovation within the global nuclear energy sector. \nThis year’s theme\, “We are critical mass!” highlights the collective impact and support needed to drive nuclear energy forward as a crucial part of our clean energy future. December 2nd holds profound significance\, honouring the groundbreaking achievement of the first self-sustaining chain reaction and the launch of the world’s first commercial-scale electric power reactor. On this day in 1942\, Enrico Fermi’s Chicago Pile-1 reactor made history with a self-sustaining chain reaction. Exactly 15 years later\, on December 2\, 1957\, the first commercial reactor in Shippingport\, Pennsylvania\, reached criticality. \nAs Australia intensifies its pursuit of zero emissions\, nuclear energy continues to gather support and recognition as a vital\, clean\, and reliable power source. Join in acknowledging this incredible legacy and exploring nuclear energy’s promise as we look to the future.
