Renewing education for an AI-enabled future
UOW renAIssance Events
The renAIssance program will feature a range of events throughout the year for the UOW community. These may include forums and workshops, project presentations and demonstrations, provocation sessions with sector leaders, and other engagement activities showcasing emerging practice across the university.
This page features all current and upcoming events across the six renAIssance domains and priority projects in one place.
Event details will be released progressively throughout the year. Please check back regularly for updates.

The Provocation Series marks the starting point for Assessment Reimagined, an open invitation to rethink the very role and purpose of assessment in a world deeply shaped by artificial intelligence. More than a sequence of presentations, the series is designed as a strategic catalyst for shared sense-making across the university. It creates space to challenge inherited assumptions, test new ideas, and broaden perspectives before moving into more focused synthesis and model development.
Throughout May 2026, a curated program of eight two-hour online sessions will bring together leading national and international thinkers in assessment, pedagogy, and AI. Each session is intentionally provocative in tone and content, surfacing tensions, questioning orthodoxies, and opening future-facing possibilities for how assessment might better support learning and student success.
The sessions are designed to maximise accessibility and participation across UOW’s metropolitan, regional, and global campuses. They will be interactive, recorded for asynchronous access, and supported by an online space for continued reflection, dialogue, and feedback. In this way, the Provocation Series functions not simply as an event series, but as a distributed and sustained conversation that invites contributions from staff across disciplines, roles, and delivery modes.
Assessment Reimagined Provocation Series
The program will culminate in UOW renAIssance Week, a university‑wide showcase held in November 2026, featuring:
- Presentations and demonstrations of project outcomes
- Showcases of emerging practices from UOW students, academic staff, and professional staff
- Opportunities to engage with the six renAIssance domains and their project teams
- Interactive sessions highlighting how AI‑enabled innovation is shaping the future of learning and teaching
Further program details for renAIssance Week will be released closer to the event.
