Hear from workshop leaders and previous attendees about what to expect at the ARDC HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons Summer School, to be held in February 2026.
At this online webinar, we introduced the HASS and Indigenous Summer School 2026. Discover the topics the workshop presenters will cover and gain insights from two participants at the 2025 event. Engage with leaders, ask questions, and develop a clear understanding of what you will get out of attending this valuable event.
The Summer School aims to empower participants with practical knowledge, build digital skills, and help inspire new research outcomes within the humanities, arts, social sciences, and Indigenous fields of study. Participants will collaborate in an interactive group setting while networking with like-minded researchers and subject matter experts.
Over 2 days, participants will be involved in interactive workshops, discussions, mentoring, networking and formal presentations to:
Four workshop streams run concurrently over 2 days. Participants will select one stream when they register for a ticket. This webinar is a chance to find out more about each stream.
Stream A: Working with Indigenous data: A practical introduction to the key tools, frameworks, and principles essential for mobilising Indigenous data governance in research and beyond.
Stream B: Sustainable data for Humanities and Indigenous Studies researchers: A practical introduction to basic ideas of data management in line with two important sets of principles, FAIR and CARE.
Stream C: Collecting and analysing data from social media platforms: Tools and practices for collecting and analysing research data from social media platforms.
Stream D: Answering social science questions using administrative data with R: A hands-on introduction to working with and analysing government administrative data using R, with a focus on answering social science research questions.

At the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC), we’re accelerating Australian research and innovation by driving excellence in the creation, analysis and retention of high-quality data assets. We partner with the research community and industry to build leading-edge digital research infrastructure to provide Australian researchers with competitive advantage through data.
In collaboration with Indigenous Australians, the research community, industry and government, the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons (HASS and Indigenous RDC) is harnessing research data to enhance Australian social and cultural wellbeing, and help Australia understand and preserve our culture, history and heritage.
New digital platforms and data directories are improving how researchers discover and access Australia’s rich humanities, arts, and social science (HASS) and Indigenous data and innovative analysis tools. The program is also upskilling researchers to use data-driven approaches to HASS research and apply Indigenous data governance principles.
As an engine for research translation, the HASS and Indigenous RDC enables researchers to develop and sustain cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary data collaborations at a national scale through federated models. It integrates the ARDC’s services for compute, storage infrastructure, persistent identifiers and data discovery with analysis platforms and tools that are supported by expertise, standards and best practices.
