Welcome
Technology matters. It's what makes our modern lives possible. But even as technology expands the range of human possibilities, it also creates major social, ethical and environmental problems. And the strange thing is that the more we come to depend on technology, the less most of us know about it.

Relevant Knowledge is an evolving programme of user-friendly short courses about various aspects of technology. The courses are designed to be accessible to anyone - you don't need to be a techie to study them. So if you're interested in acquiring some new skills, or exploring the relationship between society and technology, or just plain curious, why not see what we have to offer?
