We address Australia’s strategic science and research priorities, and this benefits Australian industry and helps keep Australians healthy.
CSIRO: Marine National Facility (MNF)
From ice edge to equator, the Marine National Facility (MNF) is Australia’s dedicated ocean research capability which enables world-leading research to increase our understanding of Australia’s vast and valuable marine environment. The MNF is funded by the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and operated by CSIRO on behalf of the nation.
Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
IMOS is a national collaborative research infrastructure, undertaking systematic, sustained and scientifically-robust observations of our vast and valuable marine estate. All IMOS observations are made discoverable and accessible via the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) platform, using FAIR data principles. Additional data is incorporated into the AODN from a wide range of partner organisations including research institutions, federal and state government departments, and private industry.
Australian Access Federation (AAF)
The Australian Access Federation (AAF) is Australia’s leading provider of identity and access management services to the education and research sector. We make it easy for people to securely access education and research services nationally and internationally, by providing single sign-on. It allows individuals from different organisations to collaborate and access online resources within a trusted environment.
Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre (Pawsey)
Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, Australia’s leading Tier-1 high-performance computing facility, is advancing research and innovation by providing cutting-edge supercomputing, data and visualisation infrastructure and expertise. From accelerating breakthroughs in medicine and climate science to unlocking the mysteries of the universe, Pawsey is at the forefront of driving discovery and advancing knowledge.
Microscopy Australia (MicroAu)
Microscopy Australia provides researchers and industry with open access to the nation’s largest range of high-end microscopes, microanalysis tools, and specialists. It consists of university-based microscopy centres around the country. Our instruments have dedicated experts to deliver high quality training and support to ensure you get the best research outcomes.
Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF)

A true partnership to improve position, navigation and timing services in Australia
What do precision agriculture, weather predictions and synchronising financial transactions all have in common? They rely on geodesy, the science of measuring the Earth that enables all Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) applications that are used in everyday life. This exact science underpins the global geospatial economy, which has a value of at least US$1 […]
Aussie perovskite solar cell breaks world record
More efficient solar cells are paving the way to cheaper and more sustainable energy. The silicon solar cells that currently dominate the market are plateauing in efficiency and are expensive to manufacture. Perovskite solar cells are a next generation alternative that are more efficient, easier to manufacture, and made of cheaper materials. However, these cells […]
Super-charging next-gen solar panels with phosphorene
Researchers at Flinders University have made significant increases in efficiency in several emerging solar cell technologies using phosphorene – a 2D form of phosphorus only a few atoms thick – along with developing a cheaper, faster way to produce it. In a world in need of cheaper, sustainable and clean energy solutions, solar is an […]
