Industry and Government Engagement Workshop – Sydney
The Centre welcomed guest speakers including Thomas Gao (NSW Office of the Chief Scientist & Engineer), Peter Morrissey (HunterNet Co-operative), Gabriella Nunes (Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRaCE)), and Sam Evans (Cruxes Innovation). Through a series of presentations and roundtable discussions, Centre members gained valuable insights into NSW Government decarbonisation initiatives and industry perspectives on research gaps, commercial opportunities and emerging priorities.
A key focus of the workshop was research translation. Speakers shared practical advice on engaging effectively with industry, emphasising the value of early involvement of partners and end users, communicating impact in industry-relevant language, and balancing ‘research creation’ with ‘research adoption’. Discussions highlighted the essential role of collaboration between research, industry and government in enabling advances across clean energy technologies.
The workshop fostered meaningful connections, showcased the breadth of Centre research and reinforced the importance of sustained, genuine engagement in driving Australia’s transition to a low-carbon future.
