Supporting research for vulnerable communities
AURIN and the Australian Access Federation (AAF) enable access to data that underpins research to support a healthy society and addresses inequities in urban planning. Through integration with the AAF’s Federation, AURIN enables users from all sectors to seamlessly access critical datasets and analytical tools, driving forward research into Australia’s urban and regional development.

The importance of persistent identifiers in the Age of AI
As AI continues to evolve rapidly, knowing and trusting the source of information is more important than ever. Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) play a critical role in modern research by ensuring the provenance, discoverability, and traceability of scientific outputs. From researchers and datasets to software and institutions, PIDs provide clear, reliable identification across the research ecosystem.

Making visible the impact of Australia’s national microscopy infrastructure
Through trust and identity, the impact of Australia’s distributed microscopy infrastructure will be revealed. AAF has partnered with Microscopy Australia exploring impact tracking through persistent identifiers (PIDs).
