The ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) is thrilled to congratulate Mathew Warren, who has been recognised with the RMIT 2025 Research Service Award for Collaboration (Individual).

The annual RMIT Research Awards ceremony was held on 5 March 2026 at the Capitol Theatre in Melbourne, dedicated to celebrating the achievements of the RMIT research community and research support staff.

The Research Awards invited peers to nominate those in their community who demonstrate tremendous effort in supporting and delivering successful research outcomes.

Mathew said he was honoured to receive the recognition.

“I’m very flattered and humbled to receive this kind of recognition from RMIT. ADM+S has a small team of incredibly talented and dedicated professional staff working behind the scenes.”

“Everything we do is a team effort, so this award really belongs to the whole squad.”

Through his support, these initiatives have generated significant outcomes in knowledge exchange, network building, and sustained collaboration, exceeding all expectations.

Announcing the award, Distinguished Professor Calum Drummond AO, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Innovation and Vice-President, said that deciding a winner for this category was not an easy task.

“The selection panel received many strong nominations from across the organisation. After careful consideration, Mathew’s outstanding effort in fostering collaboration was selected as the winner.”

“His dedication has made a significant impact on the research community.”
