QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a strong focus on preparing students and researchers to tackle real-world challenges.

Technology is central to that mission. Through computer science, information technology, cyber security, data science, artificial intelligence and related fields, QUT brings together students, researchers and industry to explore new ideas, build practical solutions and shape the technologies of the future.

QUT’s connection to the principles behind Everything Open extends beyond technology. The university is committed to creating and sharing knowledge for the benefit of society, with a strong history of supporting open access, open educational resources and the sharing of research, data and knowledge. QUT endorsed the world’s first institutional open access policy in 2003, and today supports open scholarship through initiatives including QUT ePrints, QUT Open Press and open educational resources.

Open source also has a place in QUT’s technology community. QUT has previously supported student-led open source initiatives that bring together university and high school students, industry, and developers to collaborate, share knowledge, and contribute to open projects. Today, QUT researchers continue to explore open-source technologies in areas ranging from software security to scientific research.

As venue sponsor of Everything Open 2027, QUT is proud to support a community built around collaboration, curiosity and the open exchange of ideas. Find out more about studying, researching and collaborating with QUT at qut.edu.au.
