SWIFFT seminars
SWIFFT have been running quarterly seminars for 20 years with increasing popularity. These interactive sessions help connect researchers, land managers, government agencies and community groups and allow a platform for us to share our stories. The seminars are free and anyone with an interest is welcome to join in.
Due to the withdrawl of support from the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) in 2024, the 2026 seminar program will be reliant on funding to continue the seminars. Please contact SWIFFT if your organisation is interested in helping to support the SWIFFT Seminars.
The 2026 SWIFFT Seminar program is reliant on funding to support the organising and running of seminars.
SWIFFT is currently working with the Royal Society of Victoria to find ways of reinstating the SWIFFT Seminars but no firm dates or topics have been set until adequate funding is secured.
Potential topics are:
1. Applying the potential of AI to biodiversity conservation
2. Arboreal mammals – their status and conservation
3. An overview of the practical implications of conservation legislation in 2026
4. Showcase biodiversity conservation projects as part of the Zoos Victoria Schools program
If your organisation would like to support the 2026 SWIFFT Seminars please contact SWIFFT . Financial contributions may be tax deductable.
