The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Digital archives, datadiversity and discoverability: the Strehlow Collection as knowledge resource for remote indigenous communities. How will the digitisation of archives of the Strehlow Collection enable principles of best practice in resourcing Aboriginal cultural and community interests? The outcomes of this project will ensure that those following in their footsteps of traditional cultural owners can become the future custodians of their digital cultural heritage.
Situation Room: Understanding the potential of military holographic display. This project is the first study to systematically investigate the features of the tactical digital holograms used by the military in mission planning. It tests the ways in which these may offer enhanced visualisation/modelling of different kinds of space/topography, as well as a level of 'haptic' engagement hitherto confined to military contexts. The research will advance the field of holography though experiments with ....Situation Room: Understanding the potential of military holographic display. This project is the first study to systematically investigate the features of the tactical digital holograms used by the military in mission planning. It tests the ways in which these may offer enhanced visualisation/modelling of different kinds of space/topography, as well as a level of 'haptic' engagement hitherto confined to military contexts. The research will advance the field of holography though experiments with optical, digital, computer generated and holographic TV in conjunction with 'haptic' interfaces, extending a collaboration with the Psychology Department, Oxford University, and leading researchers at the MIT Media Lab.Read moreRead less

Seeing yourself in Australian digital cultural heritage. To ensure that Australia's museums, galleries and archives reflect what is important to all of us as we move into the digital age, we need to increase accessibility, participation and ownership for all Australians. We therefore aim to discover and test best practices for engaging diverse members of the general public in the creation of digital cultural heritage.

To ensure that Australia's museums, galleries and archives reflect what is important to all of us as we move into the digital age, we need to increase accessibility, participation and ownership for all Australians. We therefore aim to discover and test best practices for engaging diverse members of the general public in the creation of digital cultural heritage. Outcomes will include engagement of new visitor groups and increased accessibility to collections. Cultural institutions will gain access to new digital practices for telling a wide range of lesser-known stories. This will bring cultural and social benefits as well as economic benefits by putting our cultural sector at the forefront of cutting edge international digital practice.Read moreRead less

Simulating subjective experience: a new paradigm in immersive visualisation. This project aims to harness emerging immersive visualisation technology, pioneering a new approach to the study of subjective experience. The project expects to develop a transformative research tool, a virtual Perception Environment that simulates seeing through the eyes of another, with the larger social goal of transforming capacity to understand stigmatised and devalued populations, and of effectively remediating t ....Simulating subjective experience: a new paradigm in immersive visualisation. This project aims to harness emerging immersive visualisation technology, pioneering a new approach to the study of subjective experience. The project expects to develop a transformative research tool, a virtual Perception Environment that simulates seeing through the eyes of another, with the larger social goal of transforming capacity to understand stigmatised and devalued populations, and of effectively remediating the effects of stigmatisation and prejudice. The expected outcome of the project is to advance societal understanding of the experience of ageing, and substantially develop our capacity to promote empathy and to remediate the problem of stigmatisation. This will position Australia as a leader in a new area of Visualisation, engendering a powerful means of knowledge transfer.Read moreRead less
Reconsidering Australian media art history in an international context. This project will establish an unprecedented platform for the promotion and understanding of historic media art works from Australia in a burgeoning international media art scene. It will place Australian media art history within an international context by connecting with established networks of scholars and web resources worldwide. The research outcome, a foundational online resource, will provide future artists and curato ....Reconsidering Australian media art history in an international context. This project will establish an unprecedented platform for the promotion and understanding of historic media art works from Australia in a burgeoning international media art scene. It will place Australian media art history within an international context by connecting with established networks of scholars and web resources worldwide. The research outcome, a foundational online resource, will provide future artists and curators with a cohesive overview of Australian media art's recent milestones and developments, crucial to making significantly innovative new works. The project will not only follow international best practice but lead in the development of new interoperability standards for rich-media web resources.Read moreRead less
Aboriginal remote narrowcast TV and the audio-visual archive. This project aims to investigate the world’s best practices in community narrowcast digital TV and contemporary methods for the long-term storage of both digital and analogue audio-visual cultural materials. This will assist in the long-term preservation of Indigenous languages and culture and will investigate whether health promotion and other messages in Aboriginal languages community impacts on community well-being.
The natural history of media: aesthetics, nature and communications technology, from telegraphy to Google Earth. This project will show how people have, since the nineteenth century, observed the Earth and experienced nature through media, and how popular communications technologies have been joined with scientific instruments to help us understand changing ecological realities.
Narrative, Technologies and Wirlomin Moorditj-abiny. The project aims to investigate how digital technologies in combination with on-Country camps may consolidate, enhance and help share a specific Aboriginal heritage.
The project will generate new knowledge by workshopping select archival Noongar language, story and song material with its home community so as to enable an Indigenous-led articulation of identity and belonging.

The project will generate new knowledge by workshopping select archival Noongar language, story and song material with its home community so as to enable an Indigenous-led articulation of identity and belonging.
Expected outcomes include improved cross-generational transmission, empowerment of the appropriate Noongar community, social cohesion and the generation of transformative narratives as well as publication.
Benefits include community well-being, a potentially refined integration of ‘nature’ and ‘culture’, and modelling of Reconciliation strategies.
