Soil CRC Participants Conference 2025
26 – 28 August 2025
Duxton Hotel, Perth, Western Australia
The Soil CRC headed to Perth, Western Australia for our 2025 Participants Conference. It was a great opportunity for Soil CRC participants from the eastern states to learn more about Western Australia soils and agriculture and to interact with our WA colleagues on their home ground.
Researchers, farmers, industry representatives, and PhD students involved in the Soil CRC came together to share our research outcomes and celebrate our achievements.
Members of the public joined us on days 2 and 3 of the conference to find out more about our research. We gathered at the Duxton Hotel in Perth CBD for our conference plenary on day 2, before heading into the field to see soil research in action on day 3.
