SUMMARY:DEADLINE: 2026 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap Exposure Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Consultation is now open on the Exposure Draft of the 2026 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap (the Roadmap). National research infrastructure (NRI) underpins Australia’s sovereign research and development capability. Providing infrastructure to advance research and its applications requires strategic foresight and long-term planning. NRI roadmaps have been developed every 5 years since 2006. \nThe NRI Roadmap Expert Working Group (EWG)\, a subgroup of the NRI Advisory Group\, has developed this Exposure Draft and is releasing it for public consultation. \nUsed by more than 100\,000 Australian researchers and 30\,000 international users\, Australia’s NRI network spans infrastructure supported by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS)\, as well as facilities supported by state and territory governments\, research funding agencies\, universities\, research organisations\, and the private sector. Australia’s NRI includes engagement with international research infrastructures. \nThis Exposure Draft has been informed by extensive consultation\, including responses to a public survey and Issues Paper\, which together received over 800 submissions. This input\, together with targeted engagement with sector and government stakeholders\, has helped identify emerging trends\, opportunities and priorities that will influence research infrastructure requirements over the next 5-10 years. \nHave your say: Australia’s NRI stakeholders are strongly encouraged to provide their views through this online survey. The survey comprises 16 questions on the Exposure Draft – all are optional. All stakeholder input will support the EWG and Department of Education as we work towards presenting the final 2026 NRI Roadmap to Government by the end of 2026.\n\nTownhall Registration \nThe EWG will host public Townhall webinars to present the Exposure Draft and background context. Both webinars will cover the same material. Townhall webinar dates/times: \n\nMonday 28 September 2026\, 2:00pm to 2:45pm AEST\nTuesday 6 October 2026\, 12:30pm to 1:15pm AEDT
