ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child (ARC Centre of Excellence administered by Queensland University of Technology) (2021–2028)

Abstract:
Our vision is for Australian children to be healthy, educated and connected. This Centre will integrate child health, education, and digital and social connectedness, innovating across disciplines to meet Australia's ongoing challenges of supporting young children growing up in a rapidly changing digital age. The Centre's world-leading team investigates children's digital practices through three interconnected research programs supported by a longitudinal family cohort study and children's technology laboratories. The Centre will address tensions in a contested field to inform government and non-government policy, technology innovation, and develop programs and guidelines for children, families, educators and technology developers.
