CIRES has turned 2! On 1 August 2023 we celebrated at CIRES headquarters at UQ with light lunch and cake and shared key highlights from CIRES over the past 2 years.

CIRES Highlights​

The partnership between CIRES and Health and Wellbeing Queensland has broadened my perspectives and understanding in the field of data, especially the use/application of data science in health. ​ Every CIRES event, workshop, and presentation never cease to inspire and challenge my thinking and perspectives when designing solutions to address obesity prevention.​ Dr Li Kheng Chai​, Partner Investigator​, Health and Wellbeing Queensland

The two highlights for me were the showcase events last November – the Information Resilience Symposium and the Centre Launch and tour – it was great to hear what the Centre had been doing.​ Geoff Clarke​, CIRES Strategy Board​

Interdisciplinary opportunities including the Building Social Licence workshop and hosting international visiting students.​ Associate Professor Gianluca Demartini​, Chief Investigator and Theme Leader

Facilitating the CIRES BIS Reading group and having the opportunity to contribute to the CIRES industry partner research projects, including community attitude towards data analytics.​ Dr Javad Pool​, Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Working amongst the CIRES team day to day has been excellent. The structure of CIRES supports PhD candidates and early-career researchers through its internal leadership management and governance frameworks. We also get access to useful external feedback and thought-partnership from industry and other universities with which CIRES has developed strong relationships.​ Attending the PhD school was a good opportunity to meet fellow emerging scholars in the field of Information Resilience from universities across Australia. It created a convivial atmosphere for us, future thought-leaders in this field, to acquaint with one another’s work as well as at a personal level.​ Krishna Dermawan​, PhD Researcher ​
