Influence Skill Development in Environmental Monitoring
We would like to inform you of the opportunity to influence skill development in the environmental monitoring sector.
The Australian government has introduced a new arrangement for developing training products, giving industry a leading role in the national vocational education and training system.
To do this a number of industry reference committees (IRCs) are being established, these are made up of people with experience, skills and knowledge of their particular industry sector.
The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) is currently looking for expertise in Environmental Monitoring – Management to participate as part of the Sustainability IRC.
The focus of the Sustainability IRC is to review and develop the skills in the MSS Sustainability training package, which includes Environmental Monitoring and Technology qualifications.
These qualifications are used to help operations become more sustainable through improved productivity, efficiency and meeting their environmental responsibilities.

NanoRem
NanoRem (Taking Nanotechnological Remediation Processes from Lab-Scale to End-User Applications for the Restoration of a Clean Environment) was a research project, funded through the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (2013-2017).
The NanoRem project focused on facilitating practical, safe, economic and exploitable nanotechnology for in situ remediation. This was undertaken in parallel with developing a comprehensive understanding of the environmental risk-benefit, market demand, overall sustainability, and stakeholder perceptions of the use of nanoparticles (NPs).
Twelve NanoRem Bulletins have been created to transfer the knowledge developed within NanoRem to end-users. These are available within the NanoRem Toolbox, available at www.nanorem.eu, which provides more detailed outputs from NanoRem.

Dear ExampleContactFirstName
The month of March and April as seen by our just 'round the corner, has much happening through out Australia & New Zealand. Let me focus your attention on just a few
1. Melbourne Branch is hosting an event on the EPA Vic Reform Agenda - note this event is FULL. We are very aware that everyone wants to be there, however we are constrained by room capacity + fire regulations - so for any that are registered, but now unable to attend, please contact Karoline directly as we have a waitlist from here to the equator keen to get in.
2. Perth Branch are changing things up a bit - with a breakfast meeting on "The Chain of Responsibliity" from 7.45am, but that evening from 5pm there are 2 lab tours, whilst they are intended for students, if you have always wanted to see inside a lab and how samples are preserved without affecting quality, let Karoline know.
3. Auckland Branch have arranged a session with Dave Hansford author of "Protecting Paradise: 1080 and the Fight to Save New Zealand’s Wildlife". He is bound to have insights on the challenges that face environmental practitiioners.
4. Vapour Intrusion & Ground Gas Special Interest Group have pulled together a series of forums utilising the expertise of Ian Hers from Golder & Associates, Vancouver - on "Developing Guidance for Soil Gas". These will be a slightly different style, and run in Auckland, Melbourne, Adelaide and finally in Sydney - with webinar facilities made available where possible.
5. NZ's 4th Contaminated Land Conference early April, with a "cannot affort to miss" SQEP Workshop (Suitably Qualified & Experienced Practitioner) and Closed Regulator Forum pre-conference, multiple networking opportunites including the conference dinner to close the event, lots of opportunity to view the various capabilities and technologies of the companies with table displays in addition to the great conference program - our first ever time with parrallel sessions! FULL-TIME STUDENTS note you can get up to 50% discount contact Shardai for details
Lots to choose from and I haven't typed the word PFAS once...... doh!
As always any suggestions or concerns do not hesitate contacting me directly OR use the "soapbox" button on the website.
Enjoy!
Elisabethe Dank
Chief Executive Officer
