Advanced microscopes underpin a huge range of critical research, from the ultra-light and strong materials of the future to life-saving treatments for cancer.
As these instruments have evolved, so have the quantities of data they produce. How can this data be stored and managed so that it’s findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) for further research?
The Australian Characterisation Commons at Scale (ACCS) project is resolving the big-data challenges faced by microscopy facilities by providing tools, best-practice guides, specialised training, and knowledge sharing.
The ACCS will deliver a rich ecosystem of computing systems, data repositories, workflows and services, connected with instruments, for researchers who use characterisation techniques or imaging collections, and facility scientists who run instruments.
The ACCS underpins techniques including:
The project will undertake three specialised programs that, combined, bridge the resolution gap from the macrostructural to the atomic level.
The ACCS will benefit thousands of researchers who use characterisation techniques, facility scientists who run instruments, and researchers using imaging collections, and will uplift the research capability offered to industry.
Research communities will benefit by reducing the time to publication and increasing the quality and reproducibility of their research. Funders can increase the return on investment in instruments and focus their funding on research.
Co-investment partners:
The ACCS will deliver a coherent and accessible informatics landscape that promotes collaboration, increases return on investment, and delivers value to researchers, while uplifting the research capability offered to industry.
The project has already developed the ImagingTools website, which helps researchers find and access digital characterisation resources, including online environments, computing facilities, data, training and events.
