The Carbon division, which is more broadly known as the Australian Carbon Society, is a collection of all those people who are interested in carbon materials: their design, synthesis, characterisation, modelling and exploitation, including the technology involved in that exploitation. Our aim is to promote Australian carbon science and encourage collaboration between Australian carbon researchers and beyond, including groups associated with other carbon groups around the world. Members are drawn from academia, other research organisations such as CSIRO and industry, and from a wide range of disciplines, including the chemical sciences and engineering, physics, biology, earth and environmental sciences and agriculture. If you are interested in joining the Australian Carbon Society, please e-mail Irene Suarez-Martinez (I.Suarez-Martinez@curtin.edu.au).
The Society runs a two-day annual meeting, OzCarbon. The intention of the meeting is to bring together all the carbon scientists and technologists from around Australia and beyond to learn about the latest research and developments in the field and to foster fruitful collaborative relationships for the benefit of the carbon community’s members and society more broadly. The meeting is now set to occur in early December of each year. The websites for past and upcoming meetings are listed below:
