The Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE) and globalCARE Alliance™ are jointly  organising the Emerging Contaminants Virtual Symposium to provide a global forum to discuss all aspects of emerging contaminants.

The Organising Committee is preparing outstanding scientific and educational programs across the suite of conferences.

The program blends research and industry best practice, drawing on experience from Australian and international markets. With an expected attendance of more than 100 delegates across all related fields and industries, the symposium presents an excellent opportunity to share expertise and make connections before, during and after the event.

Symposium attendees will also receive presenters’ PowerPoint slides (in PDF) and 12-month access to videos of each presentation (subject to presenter approval).
