ANU College of Systems and Society

The Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering (RSISE) was established on 1 January 1994.

RSISE resulted from the merger of the Department of Systems Engineering (1981) and the Computer Sciences Laboratory (1988), both of which were part of the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering (RSPhysSE).

The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) was established in 1993, and the Research School joined in 2004 to form a single institute that would become ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) on 1 January 2006.

In 2025, the College became the College of Systems & Society (CSS) realigning with three other ANU academic units: Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, Fenner School of Environment & Society, and Mathematical Sciences Institute.

The organisation had existed since at least 1995, and was relaunched in 2011 and was allocated with a common room located in the Computer Science & Information Technology Building at ANU.
