RMIT Engineering Live is a new thought leadership series hosted by the School of Engineering where big questions on complex challenges are discussed and debated.. RMIT Engineering Live brings together diverse perspectives from industry, policy, practice, community and academia to unravel these big questions in a public forum.  

The inaugural event will delve into how Engineering and Technology can help Australia live more safely with increasingly severe bushfires. It will explore the bushfire challenge across interconnected perspectives and answer questions on: 

  • How do we plan better? 
  • How do we build better? 
  • How do we better protect people? 
  • And how do we build more resilient communities? 

The series will provide a space for lively discussion around addressing bushfire preparedness in an increasingly hostile climate. The conversation will continue after the panel concludes, with refreshments provided.
