Lecturer: Dr Jens Klump, Science Leader Earth Science Informatics in the Mineral Resources Unit of CSIRO, Australia
Over the past decade the Australian Government has invested over $2.8 billion to deliver world-class research infrastructure. This has attracted more than $1 billion in co-investment from state and territory governments, universities, research facilities and industry. A substantial part of this investment was dedicated to computing, data and network resources, sensor networks, and to the creation of eResearch services. These resources and services enable research on a large scale.
Amassing data in boxes should not be the aim. Added value comes from data analytics, which are offered as services in Virtual Research Environments and as High Performance Data services. In particular the colocation of High Performance Computing with High Performance Data and the provisioning of cloud infrastructures for research opens new pathways towards adding value to this rich trove of data. CSIRO recognises the importance of extracting value and insight from data. This strategic perspective is expressed in recent changes to CSIRO’s organisational structure.
Australia is a federal state, much like Germany. Even though some of the challenges faced by Australia are quite different to Germany, some pattern may be transferrable between the two countries.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
