Members of the earth science community from all over Australia came to Canberra in September to take part in a unique gathering – the Integrated Earth 2023 conference.

Recently, we created an online space called AuScope Convergence 2022 for our national geoscience community to ponder new ways to overcome collaboration barriers. Our aspiration: by better addressing barriers to collaboration, we can become better innovators as we strive to address national geoscience challenges. We looked to innovators in and beyond our field to inspire us. Here’s our recap.

Join us online for a special, bite-sized virtual gathering over two days (2 — 3 November 2022) to discover different approaches to, and tools and mindsets for, inclusive geoscientific collaboration and innovation. Ponder new ideas, gain new skills, and help us to strengthen and enrich our diverse and dispersed community!

AuScope is excited to learn about the new ministerial appointments that Australia’s new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unveiled earlier this week. Geoscientists, meet the MPs who plan to lift investment in industry and the research sector to “…closer to 3% of GDP achieved in other countries”.

Yesterday, the Morrison Government launched the 2021 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap, which details how future research needs will be incrementally supported over the next five years for the sciences and humanities. Here is our snapshot through a geoscience lens and the next steps we plan to take.

In September 2021, AuScope, CSIRO, and Geoscience Australia supported an Indigenous-led workshop titled Ancient Rocks, Ancient Culture And You to explore how the Australian geoscience community can be more inclusive of Indigenous Australians in geoscientific programs.

We are excited to announce the AuScope Research Conference 2021, a two-day celebration of the latest Australian geoscience research that aims to address some of the biggest questions of our time on Earth. This online event will bring our diverse community together, and encourage new ideas and collaborations to seed.
