Doing Well by Doing Good – a biosecurity focus, 9 February

As part of our “Doing Well by Doing Good” Campaign, we will be connecting with our stakeholders on benefits to partner countries and to Australia from international agricultural research. Stay tuned for upcoming events in ACT (7 March at ABARES Outlook conference), WA (15 March), SA (17 March), Tas (31 March).

Further to the launch of our two commissioned reports for the campaign at the National Press Club on 1 December, an online event is being held with the Australian Chief Plant Protection Office to focus on biosecurity benefits.

The Fund’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Colin Chartres will provide a briefing on “Doing Well by Doing Good – benefits to developing countries and Australia from investment in international agricultural research” and, from our NextGen Alumni and Queensland Committee, Dr Madaline Healey, Research Fellow, University of the Sunshine Coast; Crawford Fund Laos Program Mentor, and ACIAR Project Leader will focus on “The Power of People – biosecurity as a collaborative approach.” There will be opportunities for Q&A.

Please join us for this free open webinar, being hosted and chaired by the Australian Chief Plant Protection Officer, Dr Gabrielle Vivian-Smith on Thursday, 9 February at 2-3 pm AEDT.
