Research Advisory Forum 8

Research Advisory Forum, Sydney, October 2012

The biannual Bushfire CRC Research Advisory Forum was hosted by Western Australia Department of Conservation and Environment (DEC) at its new premises in Perth. The forum featured research updates from around half the current research program over two days in May.

The Bushfire CRC holds the forum every six months to review the progress of ongoing projects. Researchers and Lead End Users were given the opportunity to present an update of their activities and invited discussion from across the members of the Bushfire CRC. The forum provides an invaluable forum to get broad feedback from all stakeholders to support the research.
