WIMnet and WIMKAL will be hosting a breakfast at the Ninth AusIMM Open Pit Operators Conference in Kalgoorlie in November. We would like to encourage female participation as both presenters and conference attendees.
To this end a WIMnet Conference Grant is available, which may be awarded to a female presenter based on merit and need. The grant covers the cost of conference registration, but does not include travel or accommodation. The successful applicant need not be an AusIMM member, although preference will be given to members. Successful applicants must first have their abstract accepted by the organising committee.
Women interested in applying for the complimentary conference pass should submit their application via email to the WIMnet secretariat Donna Edwards who will forward it to the WIMnet subcommittee responsible for the selection process. Applications should be no more than 300 words and should explain how the applicant meets the selection criteria and why they are applying.
In addition, WIMnet have a number of members experienced in conference presentations who are available to offer advice on presentation skills should an applicant be interested in their assistance.
