University of Queensland academics and experts in political and computer sciences - Dr Glenn Kefford from the School of Political Science and International Studies and Associate Professor Gianluca Demartini from the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering - joined forces to build the UQ Election Ad Data  Dashboard to map and analyse data on Facebook election advertising during the 2022 Federal election campaign.  
 

The Project was partly funded by a 2021 UQ Cyber Initiative grant and builds on four years of research by Associate Professor Demartini and his research team. Read more on the media release statement of this project here.
