Trust and Identity for NRI Survey 2023

The Australian Access Federation (AAF) is conducting a survey to gauge a baseline understanding of trust and identity within the Australian research and technology infrastructure environment.

The Australian Government's 2021 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap identified trust and identity as fundamental research infrastructure. Through this NCRIS enabled project, AAF is partnering with national research infrastructures to create a significant step change through a secure and globally connected research ecosystem.

AAF is building a Trust and Identity Framework that includes common policies, standards and technologies. Researchers will benefit from a connected network of services using one login to access multiple national research capabilities.

Your feedback will inform the design and delivery of effective engagement activities with Australia's collaborative research community.

This survey includes 16 questions and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
