Consistent messages ?

deliver an integrated data- intensive infrastructure incorporating physical infrastructure, policies, data,

softw are, tools and support for researchers

promote national coherence cloud computing, H P C, netw orks, access,

authentication and trusted data repositories, data, collaboration, softw are, services, & skills

why? W hat’s the impact w e’re aiming for?

▪ To deliver a w orld- leading data advantage ,

▪ To accelerate innovation ,

▪ To improve collaboration for borderless research,

▪ To facilitate translation of research into outputs for a better w orld

Thereby making A ustralia’s researchers as globally competitive and advantaged as possible

ARDC P rinciples

▪ Transformations – towards a world leading position on:- Data- Innovation- Collaboration- Translation

▪ Themes – our intermediate targets towards the transformations:- Make A ustralian research data more FA IR- Make A ustralian research e- infrastructures more FA IR- Make A ustralian research platforms more FA IR- Enhance coordination and coherence of A ustralia's people capability

How do we ask for and evaluate activities & resources?

reminder: what we do

Some of our “heavier” pieces

Publication S ervices:R esearch Data A ustralia,DOI’sV ocabularies..

Cloud resources

Virtual Labs(which we’re now calling platforms)

National Data Collections

Services:S kills ,policy,engagement,consultancy..

“

▪ In each of these cases it’s the functionality that’s important:- Publication services promote and facilitate quality & accessibility- Nectar Cloud pioneered a sector-based federated research cloud- Virtual Labs made new spaces for collaboration and democratised access

to high quality research tools- National Collections identified, curated, and preserved data as national

infrastructure- Skills and workforce development enable effective use and practices- Policy and consulting provide the frameworks within which it all works

▪ 2018 – 2023 ARDC Funding:- $110m operations- $70m capital

▪ Around $180m (internal and external investments)

Resourcing
