By the end of reading this resource, you’ll be aware of the Research Infrastructure Connected website and how it can support research.

The ARDC is part of a network of 26 national research infrastructure facilities funded through the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). Together, we support high-quality research that will drive greater innovation in the Australian research sector.

Research Infrastructure Connected is a website that connects researchers and innovators with Australia’s national research infrastructure tools, data and expertise supported by NCRIS.

Research infrastructure can be physical, like a supercomputer or microscope, or intangible, like a data collection or a software platform.

NCRIS funds a network of 26 infrastructure providers that:

involves over 400 delivery partnerships
employs over 1,900 highly skilled technical experts, researchers and facility managers.

Each provider specialises in a particular type of research infrastructure. Capabilities across the network range from gene editing to space exploration.

The network can also provide coordinated support across multiple providers to help you with more complex projects.

The breadth and variety of infrastructure available through NCRIS can be overwhelming, so Research Infrastructure Connected helps you find the tools you need and the experts who can shorten the time it takes to get to a working solution.

The advanced search allows you to use keywords and filters to find relevant providers, case studies and contact details and you can contact the team to discuss your project.
