Message From the Forum Chair:

Prioritising climate resilience in digital infrastructure is vital for ensuring the consistent functionality of our interconnected world while contributing to a global sustainable future. By implementing the necessary measures and fostering collaboration, we can build a more resilient and sustainable digital future.
Responding to this important challenge, the University of Melbourne's Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration (CSDILA), in collaboration with the World Bank, is excited to announce its upcoming one-day International Forum focused on “Digital Infrastructure for Climate Resilience: Connecting Land, Energy and Infrastructure”. The event is scheduled for Friday, October 20th, 2023, and will be hosted in the Melbourne Connect Building, at the University of Melbourne. We are also very delighted to share that as part of the event, we will also celebrate the 22nd anniversary of our Centre. Mark your calendars as the forum is set to take place from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

This event will bring industry leaders and experts nationally and internationally from the LAND, ENERGY, and INFRASTRUCTURE sectors to exchange information and ideas regarding CLIMATE RESILIENCE and learn about the latest trends and technologies, including:

• Best practices – examples from industry where Digital Infrastructure is adding value;
• Challenges – the challenges, from standards, processes and policy to innovation and skills gaps for adopting Digital Infrastructure;
• Opportunities - the opportunities we can tackle to advance our knowledge of technical innovations and enable growth and lead in Digital Infrastructure.

The value of Digital Infrastructure that optimises and improves planning and design through the management and operation of Climate-Resilient Precincts cannot be realised without considering Land, Energy, and Infrastructure. In order to achieve this, We require a seamless Digital Connectivity that interacts among those isolated sectors through an open ecosystem.

Best  Wishes,
