2024 Summer School

This event is jointly hosted by the QUT Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC) and ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S). We are again showcasing both our Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove Campuses in Brisbane, Australia from Monday 5 February to Friday 9 February, 2024!

Join us for a week of inspiring and thought-provoking training by DMRC and ADM+S world-leading researchers. The Summer School focuses on theories, approaches and methods, STEM, automated decision-making and digital research skills and will allow you to build career long connections with digital media researchers from around the world.

About | The 2024 Summer School features interactive sessions showcasing digital humanities and social science research across key programs and projects within the DMRC and ADM+S. Researchers, students, and industry partners will share how they are confronting a range of Australian and global challenges in digital media industries and automated decision-making areas.

The Summer School promotes a culture of supportive research, and informed and stimulating engagement among researchers, students, and partners. This program offers opportunities for learning, networking and mentorship, and a great social program.
