The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) provides Australian researchers with competitive advantage through data. It accelerates research and innovation by driving excellence in the creation, analysis and retention of high-quality data assets. The ARDC is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). NCRIS is a national network of world-class research infrastructure projects that support high-quality research that will drive greater innovation in the Australian research sector and the economy more broadly.
Australian Plant Phenomics Network (APPN)

The Australian Plant Phenomics Network (APPN) delivers national research infrastructure and expertise to accelerate the development of improved crops for sustainable agriculture and food security in a changing climate.
Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ANSTO – Nuclear Science Facilities)
ANSTO’s Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) is one of two landmark research infrastructure facilities supported by NCRIS through the funded Nuclear Science Facilities (NSF) program. ACNS uses neutrons from Australia’s multi-purpose research reactor, OPAL, to solve complex research questions and industrial problems for Australian and International users. Neutron scattering techniques allow the structure and dynamics of materials to be determined, permitting scientists and industry to understand why materials have the properties they do, and helping tailor new materials, devices and systems.
AuScope

The ALA is Australia’s national biodiversity data infrastructure. It allows researchers, decision makers and the community to contribute, access and analyse data on Australia’s plants, animals and fungi. The ALA also supports international research as the Australian node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.
Australian Earth System Simulator (ACCESS-NRI)
![](https://riconnected.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ACCESS-Logo-RGB-1024x628.png)
Earth system models are computer simulations used to explore the dynamics of the planet’s climate and weather, predict future climate and understand how it is changing.
Our infrastructure provides world-class simulations for climate and weather at different temporal and spatial scales, specifically designed for Australia and the Southern Hemisphere. Our simulations support research and decision-making by underpinning global, national and state climate projections.
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)
![](https://riconnected.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMOS_logo-stacked-square-200.png)
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)
