2. Major opportunities• We have messages now we need examples

around these messages from projects • We have some left over funding for Basins

Comms to take advantage of for videos or gender stories. Are people willing/interested to get something done by end of 2012?

• Opportunities to document and demonstrate what we are doing through WLE. We can take a lead in showing what partnerships, impact is about

3. Critical gaps/Questions• Very difficult to get research highlights and stories

from the basins. How can we improve this. • Developing science based materials from our

research is imperative • What can we begin to say about the basins or areas

we work in? What have we done? What research insights or impacts have we had. – Can we create a series on impacts or research insights

using infographics, video and other alternatives media

• How can we stay motivated and communicate more regularly together?
