Participants Conference Webinars

It seems like a lifetime ago that we had to cancel our Soil CRC Participants Conference 2020. While we obviously can’t get together in person, we are still very keen to share some of our research developments. 

As many are currently doing, in lieu of holding our Soil CRC Conference, we are having a series of five webinars.

There will be a webinar for each Program, providing an overview of the Program and updates on two of its projects, and one for our special project – Managing soils for high performance after the drought. 

There will be opportunities for questions in each webinar. 

No need to register, simply click on the link and join in. 

Can’t make it to a webinar? Don’t worry, we’ll provide a link to the recording afterwards. 

We have also made the decision not to reschedule the Soil CRC Participants Conference in 2020. Instead, we can confirm that the Soil CRC Participants Conference 2021 will be held in Adelaide on March 23 – 25, 2021. We hope to see you there in person. In the meantime, here are the webinar details.
