Our Centre’s pathway to impact stems from involving stakeholders at all stages of our research, as well as our research translation plans and strategies, which will ensure our inputs and activities result in broad range of outcomes and benefits for Australia and the world.

We aim to demonstrate value in the Centre’s research through collaborative research and development, multiply this value through the wider uptake and adoption across the Centre’s research and industry networks, and amplify engagement through public communication, education and policy dialogue.

We will focus on enabling the movement of ideas and capabilities between the Centre, its partners, stakeholders, networks, and wider audiences, and plan these interactions in terms of the flows of:

1. People
Through educating, training and supporting talented researchers, developers, practitioners and policy makers to create new approaches to ADM. Our training programs will build capability across university and industry sectors; our Alumni network will work as a multiplier for engagement and impact, expanding the range of organisations involved in our programs and utilising the Centre’s research; and our international research networks form the basis for an extensive program of student and staff exchange, placements and visits.

2. Knowledge
Through capability- building, policy development and co-design involving key partners and the combined technical and social expertise of the entire Centre; by creating a rich evidence base developed with and for use by consumers, policy makers and industry practitioners to demonstrate the social distribution and effects of ADM; and by developing, sharing and testing models for responsible, ethical and inclusive implementations of ADM in data practice and policy, machine design and evaluation, sustainable governance, and public engagement and trust.

3. Technologies, tools and methods
In addition to regular publications, white papers and research reports, the Centre will develop a range of centrally available and accessible outputs designed to assist in research, evaluation and design of automated- decision making systems. These will include browser plugins and software, datasets and resources for educators, designers, developers, policy-makers and practitioners. They will be designed to be readily adopted and deployed by our partners and end-users, and will include comprehensively documented tools, guidelines, datasets, videos, models and educational resources.
