On 11 February, the Sustainable Communities and Waste Hub held a Science Showcase for some research stakeholder groups, including the Australian Government Environment Department and key research end users.
The event aimed to showcase research progress as the Hub enters its final year of research, and spotlight the capacity that has been built by National Environmental Science Program funding through the Hub’s early and mid-career researchers.
Attendees and presenters participated both online and in person at UNSW Sydney.
These are the resources associated with each research project’s presentation.
