Australian Institute of Energy

 

Brisbane Branch

 

Welcome to the Brisbane Branch of the Australian Institute of Energy.

 

The Brisbane Branch aims to promote understanding and awareness of energy issues relevant for Queensland. The Branch welcomes new members from various disciplines across the energy sector.

 

The Branch holds regular evening seminars and special events throughout the year for members and guests. The evening seminars have a technical focus and may also include broader presentations on policy or other energy issues.

 

Membership of the AIE will give you access to a range of events at a discounted rate and the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals interested in energy.

 

The Branch runs special events throughout the year, which may include half-day symposiums, site visits, breakfasts or dinner seminars.

 

The Branch committee welcomes ideas for future technical meetings and events. For more information contact: brisbane@aie.org.au

Funding to develop sustainable energy and water technologies

 

Project proposals are invited from Queensland organisations seeking to develop innovative technologies that reduce environmental impacts resulting from energy and water consumption.

 

Funding will be provided through the Queensland Sustainable Energy Innovation Fund (QSEIF), operated by the Department of Environment and Resource Management. Funding proposals will be evaluated on a competitive basis against the program guidelines.

 

Draft applications for QSEIF Round 14 must be received by 23rd July 2010, with projects expected to be announced by the end of the year.

 

To be eligible for QSEIF funding:

  • Applicants must be Queensland-based organisations.

  • The main activities of the project must be undertaken within Queensland.

  • Intellectual property developed in the project must belong to a Queensland-based organisation.

 

QSEIF funding offsets external project costs, of which a minimum 20% must be contributed by the applicant. Funding for any one project will generally be limited to $200,000. Funding is not available for internal staff and overhead costs.

 

Payment of QSEIF funding is contingent upon achievement of project milestones.

 

Funding is NOT available to State or Federal government departments or to government-owned corporations.

 

Guidelines and further information can be obtained at www.derm.qld.gov.au/qseif, or by contacting Dr Martin Gellender (07 3330 5430)
