SETAC Australasia

SETAC Australasia

[ 7-11 August 2023 - Townsville, Australia ]



Abstract Submission Deadline: 19 May 2023

The exchange of information, ideas and solutions for the sustainable management of environmental quality lies at the core of SETAC Australasia (AU). Central to addressing the environmental challenges currently faced throughout the Australasia region is the effective translation of research into tangible end-user applications for stakeholders in research, industry, government and community sectors. Building on previous SETAC-AU meetings, the overarching theme of the SETAC-AU 2023 conference is “Source to sink: Engaging with stakeholders to protect our environment”. The meeting will focus on the sharing and application of knowledge across multiple stakeholder groups with the overall aim of improving and protecting our environment.

The breadth of topics that SETAC-AU 2023 will address include Indigenous expertise and engagement in land and sea management and monitoring, climate change and disaster effects on aquatic systems, end-user perspectives and application of scientific research, developments to foster sustainable engagement with stakeholder groups, and current challenges and opportunities in environmental regulation.
