Managing
Environmental Systems and Human-Environment interactions
is imperative in today's society. Such management
requires integrated multidisciplinary expertise and
collaboration.
The Environment Research Event (ERE) began 11 years ago
at the University of Queensland, as a means for postgraduate
students to present their research to fellow students,
senior academics and industry partners in a relaxed
environment. In 1997 this research event went national
and has since evolved to incorporate international
delegates. ERE provides researchers and environmental
professionals a unique opportunity for networking,
and to observe and discuss the development of research
in the environmental, engineering, economic and social
sciences fields.
This
year the Environmental Research Event celebrates its
11th anniversary with around 100 delegates expected
to attend, from the Australia-Pacific region. This
year’s theme “Global Problems, Local
Solutions”
aims to promote collaborative research and a multidisciplinary
approach to environmental management, recognising
that we will all need to work together to solve our
most pressing environmental problems.
