Mabo Day 2023

Friday 2 June, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

The University of Sydney welcomes you to it’s 2023 Mabo Day celebrations...

In May 1982, a group of Meriam le, Eddie Koiki Mabo, Rev. David Passi, Celuia Mapoo Salee, Sam Passi and James Rice began their legal claim for the ownership of their islands, Mer, Waier and Dauar island in the eastern Torres Strait. After a failed Qld government challenge in the late 80s, in June 1992 the High Court of Australia found in favour of Meriam le, thus recognizing native title and ending the myth of terra nullius.

Please join us in celebrating Mabo Day at this event which will feature a keynote address from Merwez Whaleboat, a panel discussion with Trish Akee and Mus Banu, and traditional Torres Strait Islander dance performances by Kebi Kub Dance Group. Lunch will be provided following the celebrations.

This event will also be live streamed online. Please register here for online viewing.

Adaptive Platform Trials - Reporting Results

Wednesday 7 June, 12:30 pm - 1:15 pm

Adaptive platform trials provide a flexible and efficient way to study many experimental interventions within a common trial infrastructure. However, design changes during the course of the study may make standard reporting methods problematic or even biased. I will discuss concepts and principles for reporting adaptive platform trials in a way that preserves randomisation and remains true to the principle of intention-to-treat analysis. Data from the ASCOT trial in hospitalised Covid-19 infection will be used to illustrate the discussion.

Context-sensitive health informatics & the pandemic boost.

5 - 6 July

Context Sensitive Health Informatics (CSHI) 2023 is the pre-conference to MedInfo2023, the world congress on medical and health informatics. CSHI focuses on Human and Socio-technical approaches to health technology and healthcare delivery, and so attracts a large number of human factors and organisational researchers, those who work at the intersection of technology, humans and health systems. 

COVID-19 has accelerated health technology development and implementation. How can we ensure that we capitalise on this momentum? What are the risks and challenges and how can we overcome these?

We welcome submissions that focus on the theme, or socio-technical systems more broadly.
