The Environment Research Event (ERE) began 14 years ago at the University of Queensland, as a means for post-graduate students to present their research to fellow students, senior academics and industry partners in a relaxed environment. In 1997, this research event went national and has since evolved to incorporate international delegates. ERE provides researchers and environmental professionals a unique opportunity for networking, and to observe and discuss the development of research in the environmental, engineering, economic and social sciences fields.
