Sessions and Timings
Session 1: Tuesday afternoon, 2 August
The future of energy research to 2030 and beyond
As Future Fuels CRC prepares to expand and extend its research program beyond the original CRC schedule, we look ahead to the research needs of the developing future fuels industries out to 2030 and beyond.
This session will build on previous strategy workshops to engage researchers with the research and new knowledge needs of the developing industries, both during and beyond the current CRC, creating significant opportunities to expand and extend our work.
We are putting together speakers and panellists from industry and other research groups to provide a wide-ranging, balanced insight into the opportunities for the next decade of research both in Australia and globally.
Session 2: Wednesday morning, 3 August
Building research’s relevance to the energy transition
This discussion session will delve into and discuss the potential opportunities and risks for researchers supporting the energy transition and how they can maintain relevance to one of the largest global challenges.
Session 3: Wednesday afternoon, 3 August
Translating research into impact
Future Fuels CRC’s community has come together to ‘decarbonise Australia’s energy networks’. At the halfway point in the CRC’s original lifespan, this session will discuss and develop how research can be better translated into impact by improving utilisation and commercialisation.
The session will discuss how to measure and evaluate impact and how to improve the outcomes of effective translation. We’ll hear from the industry participants who are implementing research outcomes and from the CRC’s commercialisation team who are taking forward the work to develop commercial products and services from your research.
Session 4: Thursday morning, 4 August
Making it happen: developing the effectiveness of Future Fuels CRC’s community
Future Fuels CRC community includes over 100 organisations, which creates opportunities to work together better and building stronger collaboration. This professional development session will workshop and build opportunities to:
- Manage research groups across contexts, disciplines and functions
- Build trans-disciplinary integration across research streams
- Create and manage effective research teams
- Remove points of fiction and obstacles to collaboration and efficiency
- Implement new ways of working to develop our research operations
The session creates a great opportunity for researchers to both share and learn about best-practice from across the CRC.
