Has rapidly advancing digital technology and increasing global collaboration accelerated our ability to solve some of society’s most pressing problems; or has it only created different ones?
Join our researchers as they explore how their work is helping societies navigate the challenges and opportunities created in a world of continuous change.

We’re bringing Curtin’s research to the world, inviting you to learn from our ideas, meet our researchers and see how our expertise can help you with your next big challenge.

This year’s line-up features 20 free events hosted in venues across Perth, including the newly opened WA Museum Boola Bardip as well as Curtin St Georges Terrace, Perth Children’s Hospital and the Legacy Living Lab in Fremantle.
