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.

The Challenge’s WA-specific use cases will be shared with innovators on September 2nd. These will define the scope of high-impact technologies sought\, with our ambition is to see growth and deployment opportunities for high impact technologies across WA. \nAfter submissions open\, what’s next in the Challenge program? \nAfter the launch of the Challenge on September 2nd\, submissions will be open for 6 weeks\, during which we invite innovators to submit their solutions in response to the use cases we have proposed. During this time we will host an online launch (September 4 for those who can’t join in person)\, and the supporting Ask Me Anything webinar to answer questions about the Innovation Challenge process. \nWhy participate? \nThrough this challenge\, the GreenTech Hub\, in partnership with industry and government\, will: \n\nTest solutions with real industry partners and real-world use cases  ; Provide access to validation\, performance data\, and expert feedback  ; Support the development of prototypes and pilot projects  ; Enable influence on standards\, insurance\, and compliance pathways  ; Facilitate connections with potential customers and early adopters  ; and Strengthen commercial and deployment pathways in WA.

SUMMARY:Cicada HealthTech Hub Masterclass: Dataroom Essentials for Investor Readiness in Healthtech & Lifescience Ventures
DESCRIPTION:Raising capital in health tech and life sciences is hard — the science might be world-class\, but that’s rarely enough. Investors need clarity and assurance before they commit\, and one of the biggest sources of that assurance is your dataroom.\nFounders and technical teams often underestimate what investors are actually looking for in a dataroom\, and how much a well-structured one can accelerate — or a poorly structured one can stall — a funding round. This masterclass walks you through the frameworks\, tools and real examples you need to build a dataroom that gives investors exactly what they need to say yes with confidence. \nWhether you’re preparing for your first raise or tightening up before your next one\, you’ll leave with a practical\, investor-ready framework you can apply immediately. \nThis masterclass features a presentation on Dataroom essentials for Investor Readiness in Healthtech & Lifescience Ventures – providing innovators with a practical checklist and tools as your venture grow and scale\, followed by a discussion on what works\, what failed and what VCs\, operators\, Angels are looking for. \nLineup\n\nAndy Lamb (Entrepreneur\, Facilitator)\nPrashanth Rajan (Investment Analyst\, Brandon Capital)\nDr Gisela Mautner (Founder & Principal\, The Mautner Docs)\nGordon Black (Founder & CEO\, East West Capital)

SUMMARY:WA Space Forum | NEXTDC P2 Data Centre Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA Space Forum for a behind-the-scenes tour of NEXTDC’s P2 data centre in East Perth and an opportunity to explore the critical digital infrastructure supporting Australia’s increasingly connected economy and its growing space ecosystem.\nSatellites may operate hundreds or thousands of kilometres above us\, but much of the value they create ultimately comes back to Earth as data. \nFrom Earth observation and remote sensing to satellite communications\, positioning\, space domain awareness and increasingly AI-driven analysis\, the space industry relies on infrastructure capable of receiving\, moving\, processing\, storing and protecting enormous volumes of information. \nWe’ll head inside NEXTDC P2 to get a closer look at some of the physical infrastructure sitting behind that digital ecosystem and explore how data centres fit into the broader space-to-ground value chain. \nIt’s an opportunity to connect some of industry’s biggest conversations — AI\, digitalisation and big data — with the infrastructure that helps make them possible.

SUMMARY:CSIRO x BHP - Measuring Nature Outcomes 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking valuable global data for monitoring practices associated with responsible land management \nOver the past decade awareness has grown that organisations must better understand\, manage and report their interactions with nature. While significant progress has been made in developing nature-related reporting frameworks and standards\, a persistent challenge remains: how can organisations use readily available\, open access nature-related data to evaluate outcomes of land management activities in a transparent\, consistent and robust manner? CSIRO and BHP invite you to attend an upcoming webinar exploring our development of a practical and transparent approach to addressing this challenge. \nThe webinar will showcase recent research conducted by CSIRO in collaboration with BHP to advance natural capital measurement\, management and reporting through the development of practical methods. These methods can be applied consistently across industries\, ecosystems and geographies.\nParticipants will hear how the project team have systematically reviewed readily available\, open access global data to assess its use for nature related monitoring and have worked to: \n\ndevelop benchmarks for over 60 variables relevant to terrestrial ecosystem functional groups globally\, providing 2020 baselines for ongoing assessment and monitoring\,\nmap how these variables relate to ecosystem condition typology recommended by SEEA EA\,\ndevelop a Quality Hectare (Qha) index to support the monitoring and assessment of responsible land management practices across geographies and jurisdictions\, and\nrecommend future directions to support broader uptake by industry.\n\nThe webinar is intended to support industry\, regulators\, environmental bodies and the finance sector. It will explore how organisations can use readily available environmental datasets to support the tracking of stewardship outcomes over time in a transparent and globally consistent manner.
