Project description
Dubai is set to become the next fashion destination. With its bustling Dubai Design District, Fashion Council and numerous manufacturing factories and retail stores showcasing some of the biggest brand names, Dubai is the perfect setting to welcome visitors to experience first-hand the inception and development of a fashion hub with an eye towards responsible fashion business.
ReBitVlogs project aims to engage students on responsible business and information technology-use to develop research across campuses with a focus on responsible fashion business. It is an innovative platform to promote student interaction with academics, researchers and industry experts to promote research on pressing responsible business and information technology-use issues in the fashion industry.
The program will see University of Wollongong Dubai welcoming University of Wollongong Australia students to engage with local academics, industry experts, government and non-government officials to initiate dialogue and research on responsible fashion business.
Conceptualised by Dr Zeenath Reza Khan and Dr Mario Fernando, the program is the first in the region to engage students from two continents on responsible business and information technology-use. The outcomes will include research publications and a video blog (vlog) with teaching aids that will add new insights into responsible business research and teaching.
