eResearch SA is leading South Australia's involvement in the following national initiatives:
- Research Data Storage Infrastructure (RDSI) Project
eResearch SA, with a firm commitment from the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia, Flinders University and the State Government, submitted a bid for RSDI funding. Our successful bid will inject $1.5m worth of additional data storage capacity into South Australia. - National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (NeCTAR) Project
eResearch SA's NeCTAR Research Cloud Node bid will allow researchers to access compute facilities that they would otherwise find difficult to resource. - Australian eResearch Organisations (AeRO)
Our participation in the Australian eResearch Organisations (AeRO) gives eResearch SA a national voice and encourages collaboration between other eResearch organisations. - Australian National Data Service (ANDS)
ANDS is a Government-funded program that seeks to transform Australia's research data into a cohesive body of research resources, the Australian Research Data Commons.
