Australia now facing significant, intersecting and rapidly evolving risks relating to climate change mitigation and adaptation, natural disasters, water scarcity, defence, sovereign capability and more. The impact of these challenges on Country and planetary health is palpable now and will continue into the decades ahead. In the AuScope Research Translation Strategy 2025 - 30, AuScope commits to generating responsible research innovation by bringing people together across sectors to generate solutions in Earth and geospatial science.
Our strategy
‘Investing in national research infrastructure to catalyse and accelerate the research needed to address these challenges has never been more important.’
Department of Education
Adapting at AuScope for impact
Through the 2021 Roadmap and NCRIS 2025 Guidelines, the Australian Government (through Department of Education, DE) encourages AuScope to make system-wide enhancements, build on strong foundations, and plan for a step-change in its research translation through targeted investment in translation research infrastructure (TRI). This TRI includes facilities, instruments, data, technology and expertise (workforce). It aims to boost industry engagement, strengthen Australia’s sovereign research capability, and make NRI useful and used by industry, government and community end-users. A recent DE survey highlights TRI priorities for NCRIS, including capability, end-user access, governance, data and security, and standards. This AuScope Research Translation Strategy 2025 - 30 (Strategy) aims to help the AuScope team (including participants of AuScope funded Projects) collaboratively address DE needs.
How can I get involved?
AuScope invites the AuScope team across all Projects to bring this strategy to life. AuScope also invites representatives of fellow NCRIS organisations, user and end-user communities to collaborate on generating useful and used solutions.
