Digital Sciences Initiative
A catalyst for digital industries and digital societies
Our ambitious vision to build world-class capabilities in research and education across the span of digital sciences and technologies.
The world has entered a fourth industrial revolution. Digital Sciences is driving the disruptive and ubiquitous application of digital technologies that are transforming every aspect of modern business, government and society.
COVID-19 has furthered our reliance on digital technologies. Future economic growth and prosperity, jobs, and societal resilience will be enabled by investment in digital sciences.
Our Digital Sciences Initiative is a unique opportunity for NSW and Sydney to seize a nationally and internationally leading position in the digital revolution:
- as a driving force in fundamental digital science and digital technology research;
- as a catalyst for the creation and transformation of digital industries;
- as the place where the conversation about digital futures and digital societies takes place; and
- where a new generation of digital scientists, engineers, and social entrepreneurs is mentored and trained.
“Our Digital Sciences Initiative aims to to unify the entire university to solve some of the world's biggest problems."
Professor Willy Zwaenepoel, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering
