The Parker Centre Science Day has two main purposes: 1) to extend the dialogue between the Centre’s researchers and representatives of the minerals industry companies investing in the Centre and 2) to give the Centre’s researchers and students the opportunity to showcase their research and its potential value to industry.

2005 Parker Centre Science Day
The first annual presentation of the Parker CRC for Integrated Hydrometallurgy Solutions’ science was held in December 2005. As many of the projects for the newly established CRC had only recently commenced at that time, the presentations predominantly focused on an overview of the research direction for the new CRC in general and an overview of the specific projects in each of the Centre’s three research Markets (Alumina, Base Metals and Gold).

2006 Parker Centre Science Day
The second annual Parker Centre Science Day on 22 November 2006 turned a spotlight on the fruits of the first year’s research for the minerals industry by the new CRC. Over 60 people, including senior representatives from the minerals industry, Parker Centre Board Directors and Centre staff, heard 21 presentations in total from Centre researchers and five of the Centre’s PhD students that illustrated the breadth and depth of the Centre’s Alumina Market, Base Metals Market and Gold Market research.
