While much attention has been given to technologies and emissions targets, far less has focused on a critical question: who is most vulnerable to the impacts of the transition, and why?
Explore how health, disability and care systems are evolving in response to demographic change, workforce pressures and technological innovation. Bringing together expertise across health, social sciences, engineering and policy, this research examines how care can be delivered more effectively, equitably and sustainably.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more advanced its applications will become increasingly complex and will find their place in homes, work places and cities.
Recent technological advances have enabled assembly of a wide range of data about an individual’s genetic and biochemical makeup, as formed by their genes, environment and lifestyle.
Over the past year, Australia has faced significant challenges that have disrupted our social and economic wellbeing. In considering the 2020-21 Federal Budget, the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) and our members urge the Australian Government to adopt a strategic approach to supporting Australia’s research sector that maintains Australia’s strong performance in research outcomes.
While AI is likely to cause short- to medium-term disruption, it may also generate long-term growth in areas such as health, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and manufacturing.
