The Augmented Society Network facilitates a dynamic intersection between people, technology, and creativity, providing an ideal platform to examine and interrogate the complexities of our rapidly evolving world. The interplay of diverse influences and a perpetually changing technological landscape guides us along various, at times contradictory and controversial trajectories. Join the Augmented Society Network to lift the lid on some of this century’s most important societal issues.

This network explores concepts, creative experiences, and the evolution of new technologies to understand how they influence societal transformations. As individuals and interconnected networks, we possess the potential to significantly influence society’s interaction with our current and future environments. Developed as an inclusive and open network for connection, exploration, and problem-solving, the network’s monthly virtual sessions have addressed topics including creativity, artificial intelligence, climate change, and the future of education. Additionally, the network has generated a variety of publications, events, and exhibitions.

We welcome all members of society and are eager to make room at the table for provocative and enlightening discussions about what truly matters in our ever-changing world.

Reimagining learning

The co-leads of the Augmented Society Network, along with frequent collaborator Mitch Weisburgh, FRSA spearheaded an 8-month long project to reimagine learning.

Together with 30 collaborators from a dozen countries on each of the inhabited continents, the group published An Opportunity to Reimagine Learning in early 2021.
