Digital Future: Expert Panel Series

Innovations in Next Generation Satellite Communications

DATE: Thursday23 June 2022

Digital technologies are transforming the way we live, work, and govern. The National Committee for Information and Communication Sciences (NCICS) in collaboration with The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) is hosting a webinar series focusing on Australia's digital future. This virtual panel series will put a spotlight on successful role models of university–industry interactions in Australia by bringing together key leaders who at the forefront of securing our digital future. 

Advanced wireless communications remain a critical enabler for our mobile platforms and systems to maintain and sustain high-capacity data communication in demanding situations. Wireless communications require access to a suitable radio frequency spectrum, and this creates challenges to mission critical platforms when such a spectrum becomes congested, contested, or denied. Future mission critical platforms will require compact wireless communication terminals which can systematically exploit an increasing array of frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. This poses a significant challenge of integrating optical and radio frequency systems to meet the resilient communications platforms needed in future.

Innovation in AI-powered Technologies

DATE: Monday 26 September 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) powered technologies are being developed and deployed at an unprecedented rate, fuelled by the large volumes of data and access to cheap computational power. However, while AI growth for consumer internet companies has been phenomenal, other sectors including manufacturing, finance, and agriculture, have yet to harness the full potential current AI solutions can offer.

Hear from scientific and industry leaders to learn more about the tools we already have that can make building machine learning systems easier and faster, as well as how we should invest and design better to make AI more accessible to the broader span of businesses and industry sectors.
