The Applied Environmental Decision Analysis hub (AEDA) is funded by the Australian Government's Commonwealth Environment Research Facility (CERF) programme. The CERF programme is a $100 million initiative of the Australian Government to improve Australia's capacity to understand and respond to priority environmental concerns. The CERF program is administered by the Australian Government Department of Environment Water Heritage and the Arts.

The AEDA research hub brings together many of the world’s best quantitatively-oriented conservation ecologists. AEDA will enable these researchers to better collaborate on a range of our most pressing conservation issues. 

AEDA members are split between universities in Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne. As a group we have a proud record in both research and its application. In funding AEDA, the Commonwealth Government has provided our people with resources to increase the volume and quality of our research, improve interactions between our members and between us and the outside world (through workshops, newsletters and a variety of products), and enhance our interaction with environmental managers and policy-makers.

AEDA is advised by an Advisory Board with representatives from conservation science and the Australian Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

For more information and examples of AEDA's work, please see our Mid Term Review, created to showcase how AEDA is making a difference.  Independant assessment of our work was undertaken in February 2010.  The resulting report assessing AEDA's productivity,  research and possible future directions is availalbe HERE.

If you like to be kept up to date on AEDA activities please provide your details HERE and we’ll add you to our newsletter list.  this email list only notifies it's members when the lates issue of Decision Point is out - no other junk email.
