What are the Security & Resilience Hub Summer Workshops?

The S&R Hub Summer Workshops are a collection of workshops designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as members of the public who are looking to upskill or transition their careers. They provide introductory, interactive exposure to technologies relevant to industry. 

The workshops will be either half day or full day, with one workshop being held online and the remaining workshops being held in person at RMIT’s City Campus. 

Cost: Free - sponsored by industry and the S&R Hub.
Workshop dates and registration: 

The 2026 Summer Workshops will be held on 25-27 February 2026. 

Registration numbers for each workshop are limited, so please only register only if you are certain on attending. If circumstances change, please let us know so we can open your spot to others.

Workshop details 

Further details and registration information will be added in mid-January. 

 

Hands-on Introduction to Arcadia and Capella – Visual System Design - OBEO

Wednesday 25th of February – 2:30pm– 6:30pm 

This workshop will give participants a short, hands-on introduction to the Arcadia method and Capella, tools used to visually design and understand complex systems in the Defence, Transport and Automotive sectors. Participants will learn how to model system behaviour, from understanding what it needs to do, to showing how its parts interact. By the end of the session, participants will be able to build simple system models and confidently apply structured design principles to plan, communicate, and manage complex projects.

No prior experience with Arcadia, Capella, or systems engineering is required. Basic familiarity with software usage and general IT skills are sufficient. 

 

Geospatial Toolbox for Disaster Resilience - CSIRO 

Wednesday 25th of February – 9:30am – 1:30pm 

Discover CSIRO’s cutting-edge geospatial toolbox designed for disaster resilience research. This hands-on session introduces participants to high-performance geospatial processing and risk assessment techniques using Python. 

Basic experience with Python and Jupyter is desirable but not essential. 

 

Digital Mission Engineering – LEAP Australia & RMIT RACE Hub

Thursday 26th of February – 9:30am – 6:00pm  

This one-day workshop will introduce Mission Engineering through a series of hands-on, practical, and industry-relevant workshops. Learn how to model operations, assets, payloads and capabilities across air, land, sea and space domains, using cutting edge modelling and simulation tools. The interactive workshops will explore how to capture, analyse and visualise complex systems of systems in their operational environments.

 

Digital Twins for Next Generation Building Management – Integrated Environmental Solutions | IES

Thursday 26th of February – 9:30am – 4:30pm – Online
