SUMMARY:2025 Francis Gurry Lecture on Intellectual Property: livestream
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking Innovation: Balancing Protection and Access\nAs global competition intensifies in artificial intelligence\, quantum computing and other key emerging technologies\, balancing innovation protection with broad access becomes increasingly urgent. \nAddressing community and global challenges—including preparing for future pandemics—requires a nuanced approach that ensures innovations are both safeguarded and shared. To fully harness innovation for economic growth and societal benefit\, we must implement policies that lower barriers and empower broad participation in the innovation ecosystem. \nIn this year’s Lecture\, Kathi Vidal will explore how IP systems can evolve to foster innovation\, drive economic growth\, and maintain technological leadership\, all the while promoting collaboration and avoiding premature or excessive restrictions on ideas. Drawing from her leadership at the USPTO\, she will share insights from her work expanding the innovation economy and advancing balanced IP rights globally.

SUMMARY:Optimising energy infrastructure development to provide reliable\, affordable clean energy for industrial hubs
DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a dynamic panel discussion on the optimisation of energy infrastructure for reliable\, affordable clean energy in the transition of heavy industry hubs. \nThe panel\, to be moderated by CSIRO’s Dr Tara Hosseini\, will feature Mitch Burt (South32 and Industry Chair of HILT’s Cross-cutting Technologies Program)\, Katie McKenzie (Australian Energy Market Operator)\, Wayne Harris (OneSteel Manufacturing)\, Kim Enkelaar (Renewables\, Climate and Future Industries Tasmania)\, Ben Saward (Grange Resources) and Professor Gus Nathan (HILT CRC and University of Adelaide). \nThe session will cover: \n\nhow heavy industry low-carbon transition pathways may change energy demands\nenergy supply options such as electricity\, natural gas and low-emissions fuels\nfollow-on implications for energy infrastructure requirements.\n\nThe panel will consider what ‘integrated energy infrastructure’ really means for industrial hubs – balancing reliability\, affordability and decarbonisation while supporting investment decisions that minimise costs and keep future options open. \nWe’ll also look at how regional plans connect with national energy planning (including AEMO) and how collaboration between industry\, governments and network planners can unlock and inform investment in energy infrastructure. \nTara will provide an update on HILT project RP3.007 Unlocking investment in energy infrastructure for net-zero industrial hubs\, which is assessing opportunities and optimal pathways for staged investments in electricity and gas infrastructure to support low-carbon energy at scale in key regional locations by 2050. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of this crucial issue and insight into some of the steps that are being – or should be – taken to advance arguably the most important requirement for heavy industry decarbonisation: affordable\, reliable low-carbon energy at scale.

SUMMARY:The Future of Sustainability Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:In a rapidly changing world\, where pressure is mounting on the systems we rely on\, the need for bold\, collective action has never been greater. While momentum across the tertiary education sector is growing\, the 23rd ACTS Conference calls on the sector to build on this progress with determination—to deepen our efforts to regenerate\, restore and reimagine what is possible. \nHeld virtually in 2025\, the conference is a powerful equaliser. It welcomes not only sustainability practitioners and educators\, but anyone eager to learn from the sector’s progress and its pressing challenges. From emerging leaders to established changemakers\, all are invited to explore the future of sustainability in a space that prioritises equity\, access and action. \nThrough three dynamic streams—Transforming Practice\, Learning for Change and Building a Just Transition—we will explore the systems\, skills and leadership needed to embed sustainability across institutions and communities. These conversations will highlight the practical strategies that bring sustainability to life\, the role of education and capability building in shaping change\, and the transformative power of governance rooted in values. Central to this is the recognition and amplification of Indigenous knowledge systems that have cared for Country for generations\, along with a commitment to justice\, climate action and community resilience. \nThe theme\, “The Future of Sustainability”\, challenges us to move beyond harm reduction and embrace a mindset of regeneration\, building institutions\, communities and futures that are resilient\, just and thriving.

SUMMARY:[Webinar] The Intangibles Playbook: Protecting and Amplifying Value
DESCRIPTION:Across industries\, the bulk of corporate value is generated by brands\, data\, technology\, customer relationships\, and other intangible assets. Yet these are often overlooked in strategy discussions and performance tracking\, leaving boards and executives exposed to hidden risks and missed opportunities. Intangible assets are your most powerful drivers of growth — and your biggest blind spots. In this session\, you’ll learn simple\, practical ways to protect intangible value today and amplify it tomorrow. \nThis free 30-minute session will show how companies can sharpen their competitive edge by managing intangible assets with the same rigor as financial and physical assets. \nThrough real-world examples and practical frameworks\, presenters will explore: \n\nHow sudden shifts in technology\, market sentiment\, or stakeholder expectations can rapidly erode enterprise value.\nHow clarity on the characteristics of specific intangibles can lead to sharper strategy and higher earnings.\nThe implications of directors’ fiduciary responsibility for intangible assets.\nMethods to map\, grade\, and strengthen your organisation’s intangible asset base.\n\nThis session will be particularly relevant to corporate executives\, board members\, founders of growth businesses\, IP practitioners and heads of marketing\, innovation and finance. For those interested\, there will be time for Q&A after the presentation. \nRegister for free here: The Intangibles Playbook: Protecting and Amplifying Value

SUMMARY:HILT CRC public webinar: Using the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Method to support aluminium decarbonisation
DESCRIPTION:The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard V3 (2022) calls for certifying ASI Entities (no matter where they sit on the aluminium value chain) to “establish a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Plan and ensure a GHG Emissions Reduction Pathway consistent with a 1.5-degree warming scenario”. \nThe ASI Method (published in 2024) is a unique\, whole-of-value-chain model that allows companies to articulate 1.5-degree aligned pathways and demonstrate conformance with this requirement. \nIn this webinar\, ASI Climate Change and Decarbonisation Director Chris Bayliss will explore the ASI Method’s “sectoral decarbonisation approach”\, which has applicability throughout the aluminium value chain\, from mining to end use and recycling. \nAssociate Professor Emma Aisbett from the Australian National University will share the HILT CRC perspective. Emma leads HILT CRC’s project on certification and verification (⁠RP3.006)\, which is working with industry partners to make sense of the rapidly evolving rules for measuring and certifying embedded emissions across aluminium\, cement and other sectors. Her team’s research is helping companies these frameworks and how to position themselves for market access and competitiveness in a low-carbon economy. \nThe presentations will be followed by an audience Q&A.
