HCSNet supports and promotes interdisciplinary research in speech, language, and sonics in Australia. We connect researchers across disciplines via workshops and seminars, and we support interdisciplinary graduate training and exchanges. The Network aims to build Australia's reputation as a leader in communication science and technology via advances in our Priority Areas: Speech, Effective Human-Computer Interfaces, Next Generation Search Technology, Human Communication Disorders, and Human and Machine Perception and Action.
