How do we ensure development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing consider gender and diversity?  Registration is open (see below) for an informative, entertaining look at the role of gender and diversity in cutting edge areas of science and technology.  How can international collaboration between Australia and France, and the work of organisations such as the OECD assist the cause?

A unique opportunity to hear directly from Australian Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley, who will speak about Australia’s quantum vision and the role of diversity in emerging tech.
