QAAS WEBSITE REVISION


The QAAS website is undergoing a major updating and revision. The goal is to make the website a hub for activity and interactivity, both between Fellows and Members, and between the Academy and the community.

To this end a number of new items are now available on the website, and accessible to everyone:

1. Fred D'Agostino's "Food for Thought", which was originally emailed to Fellows and Members. There will be an archive of former issues of "Food for Thought", since it has turned into a highly valuable resource.

2. A new section called "Featured Fellow" will showcase a Fellow and their work every month, with readings and links to encourage readers to explore further.

3. The Webinar series, a collaboration between the Academy and QUT's Data Science Centre, has been increased to 3 a year, and will be accessible to all. Links to past webinars are available on the website.

4. The welcome to new Fellows will continue.

5. Aspects of the Academy's work will be featured, including its involvement with the Rebalancing Regional & Remote Australia initiative, and the Academy's COVID report Voices from the Pandemic.

All of this is linked from the new home page:

The first phase of the revision of the website will involve information and functionality. There are many areas of the website which are under current revision. We will then turn to an aesthetic refresh.

Fellows, Members and readers in the wider community are warmly encouraged to provide comment and ideas for further expansion of the website by email to me:
