This workshop challenges the idea that better prompts automatically lead to better results. Instead, we’ll explore a different approach: using GenAI effectively by understanding how to think, evaluate, and work with information.

Rather than focusing on clever phrasing, this session will help you build the skills behind good prompting, so you can use GenAI with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

In this workshop, we’ll cover and discuss:

  • Why prompting is often overrated (and what matters more)
  • How to evaluate GenAI outputs critically
  • Common pitfalls and misconceptions about GenAI use
  • The role of your own knowledge and judgement
  • How different tools and models can produce different outputs, and what to look for when comparing them
  • Practical strategies for using GenAI in your study or work

Suitable for anyone who wants to move beyond “prompt engineering” and actually understand how to use GenAI effectively.

For this workshop, you will need a laptop, tablet or phone.

This workshop explores how generative AI complicates the way we find, evaluate, and use information, and how to build the critical skills needed to navigate it confidently.

Rather than starting from scratch, this session builds on everyday skills for checking whether information is reliable and applies them to the unique challenges that GenAI presents.

In this workshop, we’ll cover and discuss:

  • How to judge whether information is accurate, trustworthy, and unbiased
  • How GenAI packages content in polished, confident ways that can obscure problems
  • Issues of accuracy, bias, and sourcing in GenAI-generated content
  • How to apply these evaluation skills to information produced by GenAI tools

For this workshop, you will need a laptop, tablet or phone.

This workshop offers a grounded introduction to generative AI: what it is, where it came from, and how it works, alongside an honest look at the issues, concerns, and considerations that come with it.

Rather than diving straight into tools and tips, this session takes a step back to build the foundational understanding you need to engage with GenAI thoughtfully and critically.

In this workshop, we’ll cover and discuss:

  • What generative AI is and how it works
  • The history and development of GenAI technologies
  • Key issues, risks, and ethical concerns
  • Important considerations for responsible use
  • How GenAI might support your own learning goals

Exhibition Open: 18 September – 6 December 2026

Regional Arts Triennial – Radical Futures brings together 49 artists to consider how regional communities imagine, make and care for the future. The diverse site-responsive and often collaborative approaches presented in Radical Futures reflect on cultural continuity and ecological responsibility interwoven with stories of migration, belonging and community resilience. Their works reflect the specific conditions of place while also speaking to broader questions about how we live together, care for the environment and respond to an increasingly uncertain world.

Radical Futures is drawn from 13 regional exhibitions across Western Australia, each shaped by local curatorial perspectives and grounded in the stories, environments and aspirations of their communities. Developed over 2025 and 2026, the resulting exhibition at John Curtin Gallery reveals both the diversity and interconnectedness of regional experience across the state. Lead Curator Sarah Roots describes Radical Futures as a reciprocal and nurturing project that cuts through the extractive grind of everyday life and creates space for genuine connection and vision.

Radical Futures builds on the legacy of two previous Triennials; The Alternative Archive, explored regional artists as custodians of alternative histories, and Open Borders, considered the barriers and thresholds of contemporary regional life. In this iteration, Radical Futures turns its attention toward what comes next, positioning wonder and imagination as essential tools for building tomorrow.

The Regional Arts Triennial is a statewide program of exhibitions and creative events showcasing artists, stories and cultural voices from regional Western Australia. Held every three years, it celebrates local identity while building connection, visibility and opportunity for regional arts communities.

Radical Futures brings regional visions into conversation with metropolitan audiences before continuing as a statewide touring exhibition with ART ON THE MOVE. The project creates a vital network across Western Australia in a time marked by ecological pressure, social change and uneven futures.

This project is made possible through the Regional Creative Industries Fund with support from the WA Government and delivered by ART ON THE MOVE.

Event Details:

Thursday 17 September 2026
5:30pm – 7:30pm (formalities from 6pm)

Some shipwrecks are so deep underwater or remote that very few people will ever get to see them up close – until now.

As part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project, researchers have created large-scale digital 3D models of the HMAS Sydney (II) and HSK Kormoran wrecks using sophisticated technology running at the Curtin HIVE (Hub for Immersive Visualisation and eResearch) and Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.

Join Associate Professor Andrew Woods as we mark the 85th anniversary of the sinking of HMAS Sydney (II). He will unveil new views of these historically significant shipwrecks and explore how digital technology is helping preserve and share Australia’s underwater heritage.

Hosted inside Curtin HIVE, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience these 3D models at an extraordinary scale.

Places are limited and registration is essential.

When pollution threatened our natural environment, laws were introduced to protect it. Today, our digital environment is facing a similar challenge – just a different type of pollution.

From “fake news” to privacy and AI concerns, we’re navigating a digital world clouded by misinformation and disinformation. It raises urgent questions about regulation and the role of the law in managing digital pollutants.

Academics are expected to demonstrate excellence in multiple aspects such as teaching, research and service to the university. Increasingly, it can be important to also show how you have made a difference and had impact beyond academia.

To be considered for a promotion, or a competitive award such as a fellowship, simply listing past accomplishments on a resume is not adequate. Building a compelling case for promotion requires a strategic and thoughtful approach. How do you navigate the competitiveness of the process and craft an application that truly stands out?

In this upcoming webinar, lead of the Women in Research initiative, ARC Laureate Fellow and John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker (Ƶ) will share her evidence-based tips to gear yourself up for that next step in your academic career.

She will be joined by Professor Jolanda Jetten (Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland) and Professor Amy Tian (School of Management and Marketing, Ƶ). Both will offer valuable insights and reflections from their experiences serving on academic promotion panels, as well as from their own promotion journeys.

Another is portfolio entry, which offers a creative entry pathway into Fine Art, Screen Arts or Theatre Arts.

Join us for information and workshops designed to help you build a portfolio and apply for the Bachelor of Creative Arts at Ƶ.

Even the most senior academics with decades of experience are no exception to the emotional rollercoaster that rejection can take.

It is crucial not to let rejections break you, but to view them as an opportunity to refine your approach, stay resilient and keep pushing forward. But how do you really get back up after the seemingly endless rejections, revisions and resubmissions?

In this upcoming webinar, lead of the Women in Research initiative, ARC Laureate Fellow and John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker (Ƶ) will share the evidence-based tips on overcoming the feelings and setbacks that come with being rejected, and turning them into success.

Issues such as disparities in pay and lower representation in senior leadership roles, along with expectations to perform traditionally gendered tasks, continue to prevent women from receiving equal appreciation and opportunities at work.

While dismantling these barriers require meaningful and systemic change within the organisation and broader society, having a supportive network of fellow women can make a world of difference. There are a variety of ways that women can support each other in the workplace, but how do we effectively help fellow women researchers to thrive in their academic careers?

In this upcoming webinar, lead of the Women in Research initiative, ARC Laureate Fellow and John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker (Ƶ) will present evidence-based, actionable strategies to support and champion women in academia.

She will be joined by two female ARC Laureate Fellows, Scientia Professor Jane McAdam and Scientia Professor Martina Stenzel (UNSW) who will share their insights and practical guidance.

Activation space:  Privacy Preserving Fall Detection Using Edge-AI

Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths globally, with more than 37 million falls requiring medical attention each year, according to The World Health Organization. Adults over the age of 60 at the greatest risk. For elderly people in unsupervised environments, a fall can be fatal, due to prolonged immobilisation – known as a ‘long lie’ – and inability to request aid. This fall detection project seeks to mitigate this problem by developing a system that can quickly and privately detect falls while alerting caregivers and emergency services. The project uses ‘human pose estimators’ to estimate bodily joint positional data and overall pose in real time. Detecting a fall involves feeding joint data into a sequence-based neural network while using an edge-vision device for privacy.

Visit our activation space during registration and networking.

Activation space: Virtual reality aggression management

Health professionals working on the frontline frequently face the challenge of workplace aggression. While these professionals receive regular training in aggression prevention and management, translating this knowledge to real-life situations can be complex. To bridge this gap, a virtual reality aggression management (VRAM) has been developed.

VRAM offers an immersive experience that places health professionals in realistic simulated situations where workplace aggression may occur. This innovative tool enables professionals to explore their reactions and responses in challenging situations, promoting both reflective and reflexive learning. By engaging with VRAM, healthcare professionals can better prepare themselves for real-world encounters with workplace aggression.

Visit our activation space during registration and networking to discover more about VRAM and its potential to enhance workplace readiness.
