Pilbara Summit 2026
This event further builds on 7 highly successful Pilbara Summits providing the perfect opportunity for the Pilbara regions senior industry, investors, businesses, community, and government representatives to re-join and reconnect for this unique networking and shared learning opportunity.
Following on from the last 4 years of sell-out events, Pilbara Summit 2026 will be looking at the economic growth, investment, development and diverse and dynamic industry across the region.
CORE Community Coffee, May
Join CORE Innovation Hub for a coffee and a chat and meet the local Perth energy and mining ecosystem.
Community Coffee is a great way to meet local innovators, technologists and entrepreneurs working to solve some of the big challenges. This is your opportunity to connect with CORE members and guests and find out more about the opportunities and the challenges within the sector.
WAMR: Brunch with Dr Ashley McGrath
Join MRIWA x WAMR for a dynamic networking brunch with Dr Ashley McGrath from CEOs for Equity, as she presents key findings from her groundbreaking PhD research into women’s participation and inclusion in Western Australia’s mining industry.
Attendees will gain clear, evidence‑based insight into how operational systems, leadership practices and workforce design influence attraction, retention and performance — and how organisations can move beyond isolated initiatives toward coordinated, high‑impact approaches that deliver measurable change.
MRIWA: Why Do We Need Minerals Research?
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.
By 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.
Through 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.
We 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.

DEADLINE: AusSRC HPC Funding Applications Close
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).
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 telescopes – the two most advanced radio telescopes in the world, located in Australia and South Africa.
One 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.
The 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.
For the 2026 inaugural funding round, AusSRC will support projects focused on:
- Data Management
- Data Visualisation
- Data Compression
We 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.
Applications 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.
For a full explanation of the ARIA Program, please refer to the ARIA Program Guidelines and ARIA Program Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
DEADLINE: CRC-P Grants Round 19
Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grants fund short-term industry-led collaborative research projects for up to 3 years. These are open to all sectors. As part of the AI Accelerator initiative, CRC-P round 19 includes up to $20 million for projects to help businesses and researchers across Australia accelerate AI development and commercialisation.
