Exploring for the Future 2023 Showcase - 17 August - Resource potential
Channel: GeoscienceAustralia
Date: 2023-08-18

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. 

The 2023 Showcase is a free online event, where a team of geoscience experts reflect on the value of the program and share scientific highlights and precompetitive geoscience results with the minerals, groundwater and energy sectors, government, academia, research, colleagues, collaborators and the public.
