Disrupting tech-policy focus of new ANU centre
Strengthening Australia’s democracy and positioning the economy to reap the full benefits of digital technology will be two of the key issues tackled by a new centre at The Australian National University (ANU) named the Tech Policy Design Centre.
Collaborating closely with the ANU National Security College — and other parts of ANU — the Tech Policy Design Centre will be led by Johanna Weaver, a former lawyer and Australian diplomat who has held senior positions in cyber affairs at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and, most recently, was Australia’s chief cyber negotiator at the United Nations.
