The Tom Farrell Institute Forums
The Tom Farrell Institute for the Environment Forums are a regular meeting place for everyone in the region who is interested in the environment both professionally and as citizens. Forums are held throughout the year at the University's Conservatorium of Music in the heart of Newcastle. Speakers with both academic and practical expertise discuss "big picture" environmental topics and examine the relevance to our region.
The Forums bring together community and business leaders, researchers, academics, students, environmental and land managers, environmental practitioners, entrepreneurs and the community. The goal of the Forums is not only to inform but to build and deepen linkages and develop collaborative opportunities for environmental partnerships for our region.
By attending our Forums you have the chance to win family adventure outings and getaway prizes.
