D61+ LIVE is Data61’s inaugural showcase event

D61Data61 is the combination of the CSIRO’s Digital Productivity team and NICTA. It’s been a bit controversial because of a perceived new focus on leveraging assets, or, put bluntly, making money. Even the name ‘Data61’ reeks of a new focus, with its use of the dialing code used by other people to phone Australia rather than something we identify with locally. All taken together with everything else that’s been happening with science generally, and the CSIRO in particular, there’s a bit of a question-mark.

All of that is background to D61+ LIVE a free event which will showcase Data61’s activities and perhaps provide more insight into their direction. Here’s how they describe the event:
