Our Discovery Mission
Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to discover and document all remaining Australian species of plants, animals, fungi and other organisms ... in a generation.
Part 4 - Roundtables
Part 4 of this process will comprise a series of roundtables, each of which will consider and envision the support mechanisms, policies, programs and processes we will need in order to bring about the step change in species discovery required to achieve our mission goal.
Two sessions are scheduled for each roundtable, to increase the chance that you will be able to find a session that suits. Each session is scheduled for 1.5 hours max.
The roundtable chair will attend both sessions, but participants are expected to attend only one. After the sessions, the chair will synthesise the roundtable discussions into a recommendation document, which will be shared widely to ensure we capture all good ideas.
To register for one or more roundtables, choose a session for each roundtable you wish to join (note that no sessions are concurrent), then provide your name, institution and email address and click Register. A tabular timetable is at the bottom of the page.
Before joining your first roundtable, please watch the short introductory video at https://youtu.be/6mUDbvwC_1k – this explains the purpose of the roundtables and how we will all get the most from them.
Note: all session times below are in your local time.
