Minerva Space

(un)Common Ground is a space where old and new ideas collide, where understandings and priorities converge, and where conversations between colleagues and communities are navigated. (un)Common Ground is an exploration of what brings us together and what keeps us apart. It explores the blurred boundaries where commonalities and divisions intertwine. The theme invites reflections and conversations that explore the relationships, structures and gaps that define (or constrain) our sector. We invite participants to join us in Ballarat on Wadawurrung Country for important conversations inspired by the theme of (un)Common Ground, activism, coexistence, gatekeeping and innovation.

Registration desk, enquiries.The registration and information desk will be open for the duration of the conference and will serve as your main point of contact for all enquiries. The registration desk will be located in the Mining Exchange.
