Outreach to the Scientific Community

October 5, 2005
In 2004 the Queensland State Government in collaboration with National ICT Australia (NICTA) established a collaborative R&D Center to operate under the general area of 'Safeguarding Australia'. A key project developed within this theme is Disaster Prediction, Response, and Recovery (DisPRR).

The DisPRR project has been developed by NICTA and its three partner Universities (Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology, and Queensland University) in consultation with several State Government agencies including Police, Emergency Services, Office of Premier and Cabinet, and Public Works. Also involved are several commercial organizations including SMEs and Multi-Nationals.

On October 5, 2005, the RESCUE and Responsphere projects invite NICTA Director, Chris Scott, to share his work at NICTA and to promote opportunities for collaboration. Download the video of his presentation here (113 mb).
