Terabyte & Venue Sponsor:
The VALA Committee and 2024 Conference Organising team would like to thank and celebrate RMIT University for being our fabulous Venue Sponsor.
RMIT University acknowledges the people of the Woi wurrung and Boon wurrung language groups of the eastern Kulin Nation on whose unceded lands we conduct the business of the University. RMIT University respectfully acknowledges their Ancestors and Elders, past and present. RMIT also acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and their Ancestors of the lands and waters across Australia where we conduct our business.
RMIT University is thrilled to be a significant sponsor of VALA2024. With a vibrant community of over 96,000 students and nearly 10,000 staff worldwide, RMIT is dedicated to shaping the world through research, innovation, and engagement, and to creating transformative experiences for our students.
Our sponsorship of VALA2024 is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of technology in library services. RMIT University Library supports both Higher Education and Vocational Education cohorts and their educators. Furthermore, the Library publishes Open Educational Resources, maintains the RMIT Archive, offers Copyright guidance and provides an array of resources from our collections. With a ‘Digital First’ outlook, the Library is committed to a sustainable and accessible future. RMIT continues its sustainability leadership, ranking in the top five global institutions in this year’s Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings for impact against the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and remains first in the world for Reducing Inequalities (SDG10).
The RMIT Community is committed to the work of acknowledging the histories and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through Responsible Practice, we strengthen the relationships between RMIT and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to the benefit of all Australians and our global community. The Library is aware of its role in this work; and is preparing an internal-facing living document that captures the Library’s commitment to Responsible Practice, to ensure we go about our day-to-day business in a way that supports our own reconciliation journey and makes a positive impact on the representation and inclusiveness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in all we do.
We are excited to contribute to the ReITerate dialogue, offering our space, expertise and resources to foster collaboration and innovation. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to empower people and communities to adapt and thrive across generations, with education, research, and civic engagements that are applied, inclusive, and impactful.
