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.

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. This project aims to understand how to build AI systems that humans can trust. It does so by studying how to make such systems fair, explainable, auditable, preserving of privacy and verifiable. Outputs will include tools to build trustworthy AI systems, as well as policy recommendations to complement the technical tools. This should provide significant economic and societal benefits as decisions in both the public and private sector are increasingly being ha ....Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.

Summary
Very small nanoparticles made to measure. The administration of therapeutic drugs is often unsuccessful as the drug is quickly cleared from the body. Nanoparticles have been shown to enhance the efficiency of the drug administration, as evidenced by the increasing number of nanoformulations on the market, although commercially available products have currently a range of shortcomings, some of them related to their size. This research program aims to develop a toolset that allows the design of ve ....Very small nanoparticles made to measure. The administration of therapeutic drugs is often unsuccessful as the drug is quickly cleared from the body. Nanoparticles have been shown to enhance the efficiency of the drug administration, as evidenced by the increasing number of nanoformulations on the market, although commercially available products have currently a range of shortcomings, some of them related to their size. This research program aims to develop a toolset that allows the design of very small nanoparticles that display enhanced biological activity. The outcome will be an in-depth understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and properties, which is not only important for nanomedicine, but other areas such as catalysis and sensors.

The Project aims to transform the traditional artistic paradigm of visualisation as the human-centred depiction of predictable events by harnessing revolutionary advances in art and technology. Through application of an advanced artistic framework, this Laureate project expects to demonstrate how globally distributed users and digital systems can collaboratively depict unpredictable scenarios such as wildfire landscapes in real time and at real scale. Anticipated outcomes include a cutting-edge platform that provides life-like experiences to understand their spatial dynamics and the increasing uncertainties they pose, for dissemination through creative industry applications to optimise engagement and impact.Read moreRead less

Summary
Digital chemistry and catalysis: redefining reactions in confined systems. This Laureate program aims to initiate a new era of chemical catalysis and reaction manipulation via an entirely novel nanofluidic approach discovered in Australia. By further studying this phenomenon, it aims to deliver new insights into what drives chemical reactions in confined systems controlled by applied electric fields.

This Laureate program aims to initiate a new era of chemical catalysis and reaction manipulation via an entirely novel nanofluidic approach discovered in Australia. By further studying this phenomenon, it aims to deliver new insights into what drives chemical reactions in confined systems controlled by applied electric fields. It will also develop novel technology platforms to miniaturise and enable on-demand software-controlled (digital) chemistry, with broad applications in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical industries. Project success will have a profound impact in many areas of modern society, the environment and the high-tech and manufacturing industry, while further enhancing Australia's sovereign manufacturing capability.Read moreRead less

Summary
Controlling chemical reactions via pH-switchable electrostatic catalysis. This project aims to establish a new approach to catalysis using the electrostatic effects of pH-switchable, charged functional groups. Utilising simple homogeneous catalysts and polymer-supported enzyme-mimicking catalysts, a wide range of target reactions will be studied. The expected outcomes of the project will include a new approach to the design and optimisation of several new classes of catalyst for assembling compl ....Controlling chemical reactions via pH-switchable electrostatic catalysis. This project aims to establish a new approach to catalysis using the electrostatic effects of pH-switchable, charged functional groups. Utilising simple homogeneous catalysts and polymer-supported enzyme-mimicking catalysts, a wide range of target reactions will be studied. The expected outcomes of the project will include a new approach to the design and optimisation of several new classes of catalyst for assembling complex molecules and materials. The project also offers a unique opportunity to train the next generation of chemists in the principles of computer-aided chemical design. The catalysts developed in this project will be able to accelerate and control the chemical reactions used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and materials, with significant practical benefits to industry.Read moreRead less

After a decade of basic research, Nanotechnology is now entering its most disruptive phase. New nanoscale phenomena are being exploited and converted into viable technologies. Plasmonics - the manipulation of light using metal nanostructures - is one of the most promising of these. Plasmonics will enable scientists to achieve optical computing, reach higher data storage densities, and synthesize better catalysts. Other applications include bio-sensing and rapid pathogen detection. To realise these potential outcomes, a leading international cluster focussing on plasmonics will be set up and this cluster will link state-of-the-art materials science, instrumentation and theory.Read moreRead less
