La Trobe University
La Trobe University will lead a major national project aimed at optimising energy use and emissions of Australia’s data centres using next generation quantum and artificial intelligence technologies.
Funded with a $1.1 million grant under the Federal Government’s National Critical Technologies Challenge Program (CTCP) and announced by the Federal Member for Jagajaga Kate Thwaites MP, the project brings together La Trobe researchers with leading industry and university partners to develop and deploy a fully functioning prototype within one of Australia’s major data centre facilities.
The 2050 Alliance recognises Indigenous peoples across Australia as the traditional owners of the unceded lands upon which our campuses sit today. Indigenous peoples are our first educators and innovators, with long-held philosophies of Country. As institutions of knowledge, our universities are proud to play a role in continuing this tradition.
We believe that education and research play an important role in reconciliation, recognition, justice and Indigenous advancement. Through our strategy, we will prioritise work to advance participation, equity and cultural respect, and we will reflect this in our contributions to public policy.
