In the course of our work the VEIL team is fortunate enough to talk to lots of interesting people; experts, leading thinkers and doers from many different areas of sustainability. Their words change the way that we think and so when possible we like to share their expertise by recording our talks and lectures. The following section is our video and audio library; some of the works are the VEIL team members sharing our work, some are international experts and there is also the videos from our Eco-innovation Seminars series.
Along with our lecture and talks series we also video one of our regular networking events, the Sustainable Cities Round Table, these videos are hosted on our sister website Sustainable Melbourne. The Sustainable Cities Round Tables are regular events that feature a variety of speakers who provide three minute glimpses of what they are doing to create a sustainable Melbourne. The talks are diverse in their perspective, topics and approaches whilst also balancing well-known leaders with fresh, local talent.
You can see the complete list of speakers from the Sustainable Cities Round Tables.
Here are a few videos from the last Sustainable Cities Round Table.

Catchments are often thought of as pristine natural environments, yet the bulk of rainfall in Australia is more likely to fall within urban centers. What might be the benefits and strategies that surround notions of urban / city water catchments? The project is researching water usage, and tracks all the flows of water in, around and out of the city in order to establish the basis for a new distributed water system for Melbourne. Sheridan discusses Melbourne City Council's approach and outlines some of the responses the project is already receiving from urban planners.
