Welcome to the School of Cybernetics. A non-traditional school based in the College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics at the Australian National University, we are making space for different futures.
Our aim is to establish Cybernetics as an important tool for navigating major societal transformations, through capability building, policy development and safe, sustainable and responsible approaches to new systems.
Our programs extend existing core strengths in computer science and engineering by drawing on design ethnography; critical studies of science and technology; philosophy; history; business strategy and more.
The School of Cybernetics was founded by Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell. She served as the inaugural Director 2021-2023 and was appointed as the ANU Vice-Chancellor in 2024.
