Knowledge on Tap

Enjoy a monthly series of free quick talks in the pub, from business to sustainability and everything in between.

Head to ECU's Birra Bar on Joondalup campus on the last Wednesday of each month to hear academics from all areas of the university talk at 5.30pm about a new theme each time. Doors open at 5pm to enjoy a drink and collect any pre-ordered pizzas. Finish the night with informal networking, and a chance to ask your detailed questions of our speakers until 6.30pm.

Every ticket holder gets an opportunity to suggest a theme for an upcoming month.

  • February: Sustainability Challenges 
    • Dr Kat O'Mara with "The Sustainability Gap: Why Good Intentions Don't Always Translate to Real Change".

    • Dr Shannon Dee,  who says "We all know coral reefs are being severely impacted by climate change, but did you know that typical warm, clearwater reefs have lesser-known harsher counterparts, that may have the potential to save coral reefs into the future? Extreme reefs, or reefs beyond the extent of “suitable” environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, salinity, light, pH), host corals who physiology and genetics hold the key to understanding how corals can be bread to withstand projected climate scenarios."

    • Dawn Reid (The Living Room)  who wants to chat about why feeling connected at university makes such a big difference.

She will also give you a peek into what we do at The Living Room (TLR) at ECU, where creating those connections is very important to us and why.
  • November: Diversity in Science
