SUMMARY:From core story to successful commercialisation [ACS Webinar]
DESCRIPTION:This session is designed for founders\, researchers\, innovators\, technologists\, commercialisation teams\, startup leaders\, and organisations seeking to move beyond technical validation into market momentum. It is particularly relevant for people working on emerging technologies\, deep tech\, AI\, sustainability\, infrastructure\, or mission-driven ventures attempting to bridge the gap between invention and adoption.\nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstand how to determine whether an innovation solves a problem people viscerally care about rather than simply admire intellectually.\nGain practical frameworks for testing assumptions early and reducing the risk of building products without commercial pull.\nExplore how emerging ventures can create category leadership before markets fully mature.\nLearn how to articulate a venture’s deeper strategic significance so it resonates with customers\, media\, investors\, policymakers\, and partners.\nUnderstand how communications\, positioning\, and storytelling can operate as strategic infrastructure rather than marketing decoration.\nDevelop a stronger ability to identify hidden leverage points that can accelerate traction and cultural relevance.

SUMMARY:WAGES Essentials of Research Impact for NHMRC and MRFF Grant Writing
DESCRIPTION:Research impact has become an increasingly important component of competitive grant applications\, it often contributes a substantial proportion of the assessment score\, with some funding programs\, (e.g. MRFF)\, placing particularly strong emphasis on impact. \nThis practical three-hour workshop provides WA researchers with the essential knowledge and tools needed to develop stronger impact sections for grant applications\, and more effectively articulate research impact within their track record. The workshop is specifically designed for researchers applying to NHMRC and MRFF funding schemes\, and draws on relevant assessment criteria\, reviewer expectations and application examples. \nExpressions of interest will remain open until COB Friday 7 August 2026.
