Environmental Research Event 2009

From the 10th - 13th May 2009 postgraduates from nine different countries presented work related to water, energy, climate change, and society in Noosa, Australia. I presented on my masters thesis that focuses on the collaboration of key-stakeholders involved in the Aquaculture and Seafood Trail. I received very good feedback and it was nice to discuss my research with some fresh minds!

Topics were presented at the conference that covered the following themes:

•  Innovative responses to complex environmental problems
•  Institutional and organisational change for sustainable water and energy systems
•  Transitioning to a low-carbon economy
•  Community engagement and education

I am glad that I attended the ERE- conference. It was a really good experience with very interesting, inspirational, and supportive people!!
