FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Kim Picard is building a platform that will make seabed data more accessible to researchers.

“With ARDC support, we’re going to leverage off what we’ve already achieved through AusSeabed through the collaboration of our stakeholders, who are ready to bring the data together and eliminate the barrier to end users so they can use the seabed data that’s out there. Because we’re partnering with 6 other organisations, we are ensuring broad national and international knowledge is brought together. What we’re doing together is going to have a global influence.”

Professor Michael Haugh leads an ARDC-supported project to build a national language data commons.

“Humanities traditionally has done things on a smaller scale, but I think people are seeing the value of forming research groups. The language data commons is a good example of research communities coming together on a common project to build something together. And language is something that belongs to all of us.”
