NSW responds to industry opportunities
The NSW government has launched its Accelerating R&D in NSW Action Plan, with key themes aligning to the industry needs highlighted in an AusBiotech NSW roundtable last year.
The Action Plan, developed with the Hon. Gabrielle Upton MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, who has been tasked with accelerating R&D investment in NSW, recommends five Priority Actions and 16 Supporting Actions that seek to accelerate the rate at which ideas are translated into new industries, jobs, products and services. The recommendations in the Action Plan aim to make NSW an Australian R&D leader and a world-class contributor.
The LevelSender 5 is a telemetry system designed to work with
Solinstwater level dataloggers. The LevelSender 5 is low cost, simple to configure and easy to deploy – allowing you to easily upgrade your existing datalogger installations. The LevelSender 5 is compact, so you can discreetly install it in a 2 well with two dataloggers connected. The LevelSender 5 uses cellular communication to send remote water level data to your home station computer database and your smart device using email and text messaging. Two-way communication allows remote updates from the home station computer, simplifying operation and maintenance.

OSCE roundtable on women’s leadership in peacebuilding and conflict prevention UK contribution
Why is it important to have more women in leadership positions in conflict prevention and peacebuilding?
Five main reasons:
(a) The starting point is very low – between 1990 and 2017, in all major peace processes – women made up only 2% of mediators; 8% of negotiators and 5% of witnesses and signatures. Barriers include assumptions that, as women are often not direct combatants, their role in cessation of hostilities is limited. But there are serious myths which need puncturing – chief amongst them that: there are not enough qualified women to participate in peace processes (which is wrong); and that peace processes should not take into account informal power structures in communities (which is also wrong).
