RMIT Social Sciences Week 2024

As the principal sponsor of Social Sciences Week 2024, RMIT is hosting a range of thought-provoking events from 9-15 September.

Now in its seventh year, Social Sciences Week is an initiative of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia designed to foster a deeper understanding of social sciences and their importance to society through an exciting series of in-person, online, and hybrid events.

Social Change Enabling Impact Platform Director, Professor Lisa Given, said RMIT is a leading university in applied research committed to improving people’s lives and acting sustainably.

“The social sciences are needed now more than ever to help humanity restore the planet and address global inequalities,” she said.

“Through RMIT’s innovative and insightful research, working alongside community, government, and business, we strive to better understand human behaviour, societal needs, and the complex issues that affect communities globally.”

RMIT’s Social Sciences Week program features innovative work by the University’s leading researchers and critical industry partnerships. These events are open to the public, students and staff.
