Global leadership in society’s biggest challenges

By Algorithm EditorialMay 25th, 2018

This issue of Algorithm explores Data61’s role as an Australian innovation hub with global impact. As we navigate the nuances of disruption and focus on innovation that benefits Australia, our work has drawn the interest of groups overseas. Becoming global leaders in deep science and tech provides benefits that flow directly back into Australia.

In this issue, we’ll dig into our work modelling floods in Chile, helping California fight increasingly intense wildfires, discuss what Facebook’s big data woes mean for platforms and big data around the world, and hear from experts on the future of industries in the ASEAN region.
