Ailiche Goddard-Clegg specialises in best practice communication and engagement that builds social licence for sustainable futures. Based at Deakin University’s Warrnambool campus in south west Victoria, Ailiche is deeply connected to regional communities. At Hycel, Ailiche leads the hydrogen social licence research, communication, and engagement program where she brings research, industry, and community together to develop outcomes for broad benefit.

Ailiche advocates for cross sector partnerships, STEM education, and sustained community engagement that readies Australia for the clean energy transition.
