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.

Child refugees and Australian internationalism: 1920 to the present. This project aims to generate new and powerful understandings of the impact and experiences of child refugees in Australia throughout the twentieth century and early twenty-first century; to explore how this history is tied to the history of Australia's international role on refugee and migration issues; and to examine how our past can inform us about current and future approaches to humanitarian immigration. In doing so it aims to enable an integrated approach to understanding the impact of child refugees in Australia in cultural, social and economic terms and provide a historical and contemporary framework for current discussions on child refugees.Read moreRead less

Summary
Science and engineering concept formation in homes and playbased settings. This education project aims to research concept formation in infants, toddlers and preschoolers by examining imagination in play-based settings and homes. Quality early childhood experiences can impact positively on life choices and career pathways. The outcomes of this project will provide baseline evidence, build on teachers’ strengths in play-based settings, and test a new early childhood model of teaching science, eng ....Science and engineering concept formation in homes and playbased settings. This education project aims to research concept formation in infants, toddlers and preschoolers by examining imagination in play-based settings and homes. Quality early childhood experiences can impact positively on life choices and career pathways. The outcomes of this project will provide baseline evidence, build on teachers’ strengths in play-based settings, and test a new early childhood model of teaching science, engineering and technologies, while monitoring uptake and adoption to build Australia's early childhood research capacity. It is expected that the results will build capacity in research in early childhood science, engineering and technologies, positioning Australia as a research leader.Read moreRead less

“New ways to see” - Reimagining Electron Microscopy . Understanding materials at the level of individual atoms can be critical for understanding their properties. This program aims to develop new ways to measure the structure of matter at the level of atoms by reimagining the fundamental concepts behind an electron microscope. This will enable subtle classes of structures in materials to be seen, that were previously not visible. This new knowledge will provide fundamental insight into the prope ....“New ways to see” - Reimagining Electron Microscopy . Understanding materials at the level of individual atoms can be critical for understanding their properties. This program aims to develop new ways to measure the structure of matter at the level of atoms by reimagining the fundamental concepts behind an electron microscope. This will enable subtle classes of structures in materials to be seen, that were previously not visible. This new knowledge will provide fundamental insight into the properties of materials and how they can be engineered to deliver new functions. Expected outcomes include a microscope with unprecedented sensitivity to atomic scale structures and new understanding of material’s properties. Read moreRead less

Mining and society in a changing environment: pathways to sustainability. This Fellowship seeks to address an urgent, largely unstudied global challenge: how to govern mining activities so they enhance sustainability, justice and development. It will conduct a systematic comparative analysis of mining activities across Latin America, Australasia and South-East Asia, drawing on political ecology, sustainability science, Indigenous geography and geographic information science. Such an in-depth, theoretically innovative study of government, company and civil society efforts to adapt mining projects and policy should make Australia a recognised centre of expertise and is likely to make the mining industry more socially and environmentally sustainable.Read moreRead less
