Hearne Scientific Software wins Community iAward
27 May, 2005
The Australian Information Industry Association’s (AIIA) Community iAward recognises a commitment to corporate social responsibility.
The Community iAward was presented by AIIA, the Australian Financial Review and the CSIRO ICT Centre, Wednesday 25 May at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of CeBIT Australia.
Hearne Scientific Software and CSIRO Entomology were presented with the Community iAward for the most innovative ICT project deemed by the panel of AIIA judges to best demonstrate a commitment to corporate social responsibility.
All of the iAwards 2005 finalists who demonstrated a commitment to community partnerships, environmental excellence, diversity or bridging the digital divide were considered for this award.
The DYMEX-CLIMEX risk assessment software is a unique model-building tool developed to assist biologists to carry out biological risk assessments and management of invasive species in agricultural and natural systems.
Speaking at the gala awards dinner, AIIA’s Chief Executive Officer, Rob Durie said, “The iAwards recognises that pioneering ICT transforms and increases productivity across all sectors of the economy and creates high value businesses, growth, exports and skilled job opportunities. The importance of ICT as an enabler for many other industries cannot be underestimated.”
“The iAwards acknowledges the commitment of leading-edge Australian ICT companies not just to our own industry, but to all sectors of the Australian economy.”
The iAwards Patron for 2005, Senator the Hon. Helen Coonan, Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, attended the award ceremony, along with more than 800 leaders from the ICT industry, government, academia and the media.
“Innovation is critical to the international competitiveness of our ICT Industry, so it’s vital that we reward our success stories and encourage others to follow in their footsteps,” Senator Coonan said.
iAward Winners will go on to represent Australia at the Asia Pacific ICT Awards (www.apicta.com) in Bali in late 2005.
The iAwards are strongly supported by industry and government and are proudly sponsored by Telstra, National ICT Australia (NICTA), Welsh Development Agency, IBM, the Department of Communications IT and the Arts (DCITA), CeBIT Australia, I-Nex Corporation, Accenture, Australian Computer Society and ZDNet.
