About this Event

Curious about quantum? Wonder what superposition and quantum entanglement mean for us as regular humans? Monash Quantum Futures Collaboration and Quantum Australia will demystify quantum, explore what it could mean for our daily lives. Join experts in fields ranging from health to technology to explore what a quantum powered future could look like. Starting with presentations on quantum innovation (in plain language!) we will use co-design tools to unpack what impacts quantum might have on our daily lives in the next 10-20 years, from work, education, banking and communication to healthcare and transport. Whether you're new to quantum or just curious, come and explore how quantum might shape our shared future.

This year, Monash Design will extend Monash University’s Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture’s commitment to ‘creativity for purpose’, by examining and demonstrating design’s key role in actioning this ambition. Through a series of workshops, interactive engagements, exhibitions and guest lectures, this series of events will showcase the Australian-made design projects with a strong focus on design futures that demonstrate design’s diverse contribution to the world through responsible, thoughtful, inclusive and accountable approaches to design research and practice. It will draw on the extensive and highly respected research of its core research labs, including the Emerging Technologies Lab (designing quantum futures), XYX Lab (queer film stories); and Mobility Design Lab (accessing our cities through improved public mobility systems). Individual researchers and practitioners will contribute to vital discussions and demonstrations such as: sustainable futures and designing research translations. Both Postgraduate and undergraduate student projects and design methods will also feature.

Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
