TRG Webinars

Hosted by the Technology Addiction team at the Brain and Mind Centre and co-chaired by Professor Sally Gainsbury and Assistant Professor Kahlil S. Philander

This online series covers a range of issues relevant to stakeholders looking to understand more about gambling, technology, and risk taking.

The one-hour seminars include discussions with thought leaders worldwide, speaking on a wide range of topics relevant to stakeholders interested in understanding how design and emerging technologies impact gambling, including risky decision making and behaviours, and implications for research, policy, and practice.

The international expert speakers bring a range of backgrounds and experiences from multidisciplinary fields. One of the aims of this seminar series is to highlight emerging researchers and allow new voices to contribute to the field. As such, early and mid-career experts form an integral part of our speaker line-up. The seminar series is interactive and attendees have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in the discussion with the live online community.

In Season 5, we will hear from leading experts from outside the gambling field and think specifically about the different populations and discuss the practicalities of using technologies to enhance decision-making and reduce harms.
