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.

Cryo atom probe tomography: an atomic-scale view of life. This project aims to develop workflows that allow the microscopy technique of atom-probe tomography to be applied to specimens that have been cryogenically cooled during preparation. The project will open up this powerful method, which has made an enormous impact in materials science over the last few decades, to new disciplines such as chemistry and the life sciences. The new types of specimens that can be analysed include vitrified biol ....Cryo atom probe tomography: an atomic-scale view of life. This project aims to develop workflows that allow the microscopy technique of atom-probe tomography to be applied to specimens that have been cryogenically cooled during preparation. The project will open up this powerful method, which has made an enormous impact in materials science over the last few decades, to new disciplines such as chemistry and the life sciences. The new types of specimens that can be analysed include vitrified biological matter, liquids (solutions), surface molecules (ligands), and hydrogen. In the long term, this project has the potential to lead to radical new discoveries in fields such as health and medicine, chemical processing and agriculture.Read moreRead less
Heterogeneous hydrophilic catalysts for green oxidation in bio-refining. The project aims to address one significant global challenge of developing green processes for producing high value chemicals from biomass, to enhance the environmental performance and cost-efficiency of bio-refining. This project aims to develop a new class of heterogeneous nanocatalysts with hydrophilic Co (salen) complexes for biomass oxidation in water rather than toxic solvent. This project will use this to devise prac ....Heterogeneous hydrophilic catalysts for green oxidation in bio-refining. The project aims to address one significant global challenge of developing green processes for producing high value chemicals from biomass, to enhance the environmental performance and cost-efficiency of bio-refining. This project aims to develop a new class of heterogeneous nanocatalysts with hydrophilic Co (salen) complexes for biomass oxidation in water rather than toxic solvent. This project will use this to devise practical routes for the production of targeted industrial components for flavours, fragrances, fine chemicals, and petrochemicals. The development of heterogeneous hydrophilic catalysts by which they will oxidise hydrophilic biomasses in a continuous flow system will dramatically improve the sustainability of the chemical industry.Read moreRead less
