About

Hear from our panel of expert presenters as they discuss Australia’s water Research and Development (R&D) capability:
- What are some big research successes of the past?
- What are the big future water opportunities and challenges?
- How can the national water R&D capability be strengthened?

They discuss the broad range of water research disciplines and research targeting both public benefit and for commercialisation by the private sector. The strength of water R&D is not just about the scale of research investment it is also research culture and the relationship between organisations required to deliver impact. There is a growing awareness of the need for challenge-led approach to research and innovation with strong partnerships across research, government and private sector.
