Each year the joint Bushfire CRC and AFAC conference attracts around 1000 delegates keen to hear the latest in science, research, policy and practice for the sector. This is a great opportunity to showcase the work of the Bushfire CRC, with the call for abstracts currently...
We are mindful that there are many students who are not directly involved with the Bushfire CRC, but whose areas of research are likely to be of significant interest to our stakeholders (both research partners or end users). Some of these students are already indirectly...
We are increasingly asked to quantify the impact of research. This is often thought of as focusing on the impact of the products the research has led to, but the research process itself can have very positive impacts.
I recently had the opportunity to observe focus...
It hardly seems anytime since we took on the first cohort of students into the Bushfire CRC Extension, and now many are nearing submitting their thesis for examination. We congratulate Alireza Abbasi who has the honour of being the first of this cohort of students to...

In recent weeks I have been delighted to hear that a number of our ‘old’ Bushfire CRC students have submitted a thesis and received positive feedback and comments. We have also heard that a number of other students are getting close to submission, which is...
There was a real buzz in the Common Room at University House at ANU last week as Bushfire CRC researchers and students presented updates on their projects at the Research Advisory Forum. There was also time to engage in less formal interactions with other researchers and...
The annual conference is only just over but we are now in the final stages of planning the Research Advisory Forum, in Canberra at the end of October. At this twice yearly event representatives of all stakeholders discuss progress reports on the research and, for this...
It was great to finally have all of the new Bushfire CRC scholarship recipients together at the conference in Sydney. It was also great to see a number of recently completed or soon to be completed students. Thank you to each of you for the contribution that you...
More than 20 new researchers have begun their PhD studies with the Bushfire CRC over the past year. The potential impact of these new researchers was evident at the annual conference in Darwin last year and in presentations at two Research Advisory Forums. At the annual...
