Geoscience Australia held the final Exploring for the Future online public Showcase during 13–16 August 2024, marking the conclusion of this remarkable 8-year program and celebrating its enduring legacy.
Since 2016, the $225m Exploring for the Future program has been gathering, analysing and providing precompetitive geoscience data, information and tools to help inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources, supporting our transition to net zero by 2050.
The 2024 Showcase was a free online event, where geoscience experts shared the latest results from the program and highlighted its impacts, benefits and achievements.
Day 1 included an ‘Overview of transformational 8-year geoscience program’ presentation by Dr Andrew Heap, a panel discussion with government and industry leaders on the value of the Exploring for the Future program and precompetitive geoscience to industry, communities and government, followed by ‘Geoscience for all Australians’ session.
