During the online meeting held on September 27-28, 2021, there was a proposal for a Virtual Online Lecture Series (MOOC), which is to be launched during the IESC symposium in 2022. The consortium is planning to combine videos to create a lecture series for their joint MOOC, and the first to submit their presentation is the University of Queensland.
University of Queensland
Dr. Lisa Ottenhaus (of School of Civil Engineering, University of Queensland) has recorded her lecture on
"How to build a timber skyscraper" for IESC MOOC.

UQ is famous for fire engineering and timber structures.
They also have access to facilities like this:

The research group at the Research Center for Solar Energy Chemistry is interested in the development of "novel photo-electrochemical energy-conversion materials and systems" based on electrochemistry inorganic material chemistry, photo-chemistry and molecular biochemistry. That seems like a mouthful, but to many of you I am sure that these are very familiar fields of research.
