Accelerating elimination of persistent pollutants: Your role in the Centre of Excellence for Persistent Pollutant Elimination

February 11 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm ACDT

On January 15, 2025, the Australian Research Council selected the Expression of Interest for a new Centre of Excellence for Persistent Pollutant Elimination (CoE-PPE) to proceed to the next stage. Water Research Australia is thrilled to announce our involvement in this initiative, which aims to revolutionise the detection, remediation, and prevention of persistent pollutants in Australia’s water and land resources.

The CoE-PPE will tackle critical challenges in water quality management by integrating cutting-edge technologies and multidisciplinary expertise. This landmark initiative aligns closely with WaterRA’s national priorities, addressing service delivery, supply optimisation, and environmental stewardship while delivering transformative solutions to persistent pollutant issues.

WaterRA has provided preliminary support to this proposal and is now seeking input from our members to shape the full-stage submission, due March 27, 2025. Commonwealth funding for this proposal could amount to $35 million, providing an unprecedented opportunity for the water industry to influence and benefit from this Centre of Excellence.

Join us for this interactive session to learn:

  • The vision, programs, and funding behind the CoE-PPE proposal
  • How you, as a WaterRA member, can actively contribute to shaping this groundbreaking initiative
  • WaterRA’s evolving role in the Centre of Excellence, dependent on water industry support

Don’t miss this chance to participate in shaping the future of water quality management and driving solutions to one of the industry’s most pressing challenges.

This webinar is exclusively for employees of WaterRA Industry Member organisations. For questions, please contact Jacqueline Frizenschaf, Senior Manager Research Strategy & Business Development.
