National AusiSTAR Hub to provide data science boost for Aussie athletes

QUT will invest $4.5 million into sports data science over the next five years as part of a new national research hub that will help build better athletes in the lead-up to the 2032 Games and beyond.

The Australian Sports Tech Analytics & AI Research (AusiSTAR) Hub was launched at its QUT headquarters in Brisbane – the host city of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The hub is a consortium of universities, sports associations, government agencies and private companies.

It will train a new generation of sports data analysts to help address a national shortage of these experts, who provide vital insights into areas including performance and injury prevention.
