RI to visit down under

How many different types of research infrastructures (RI) have you seen?

Add to your tally this December by exploring Australian RI through our side events.

• Get out into nature at Queensland University of Technology’s Samford Ecological Research Facility site visit
  • SERF is a unique research facility used to monitor the impacts of an increasing population on fauna, greenhouse gases and waterways. Additionally, it conducts sustainable agriculture and food security research. Explore the various landscapes on site as you learn more about the research and monitoring enabled by research infrastructure.

• Immerse yourself in an ocean research vessel experience in CSIRO’s INVESTIGATE exhibit
  • INVESTIGATE is an immersive marine science experience built into a shipping container, replicating the science laboratories used on Australia’s advanced ocean research vessel (RV) Investigator. Explore the interactive display at the Opening Ceremony.

• Check out Australia’s biodiversity in the Queensland Museum’s back-of-house State Collection tour
  • 43% of described species in Australia are only known from collection specimens. Advanced technologies, including genomics, advanced imaging, artificial intelligence and machine learning, are rapidly expanding the potential role of biological collections in supporting science, industry and government decision-making. This symposium will explore the design of distributed research infrastructure, focusing on biological collections, as a potential pattern for other national research infrastructure.
