Partnering with the sector for solutions delivering trusted access

The AAF partners with the Australian higher education and research sector through national research infrastructures (NRIs), medical research institutes and universities to provide a seamless and secure research ecosystem. We’ve explored and built solutions for the community and with the community.

Explore some of projects below including those funded by the National Sovereign Trust & Identity Australia Capability funded by the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)

Featured Project

National Sovereign Trust & Identity Australia Capability

We're strengthening Australia’s national research infrastructure. by giving researchers in universities, government, industry, medical research, cultural institutions and community organisations secure access to the world-class data, tools and infrastructure they need.

  • National Imaging Facility – Advancing federated access for imaging research

    Overview Imaging research is increasingly multi-site, which means researchers have to work across institutions, facilities and systems. Through the AAF–NIF Trust & Identity incubator, the National Imaging Facility (NIF) is exploring how trusted identity can reduce the time and complexity involved in connecting people, data and services.

Backing a national vision

The 2021 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap calls for a more integrated, connected national research infrastructure ecosystem.

AAF provides the trust and identity capability that makes that vision achievable.

It’s a simple idea with real impact: investment builds the infrastructure, trust connects the people, access enables discovery, and discovery creates impact.
