Our Core Research Facilities provide access to world-class equipment and expertise for researchers and industry as they tackle some of the greatest challenges of today.
They are home to an ever-evolving suite of frontier capabilities, including first-in-country technologies. They have been central to advancing knowledge across a range of fields including medicine and health, advanced manufacturing, quantum computing biomedical engineering, life and earth sciences, digital humanities and cultural heritage, and many more.
Research is becoming increasingly data‑rich and AI‑enabled, making powerful computing more important than ever before. Our researchers are supported to access a growing range of advanced computing platforms, including national supercomputers and Apollo, our own dedicated GPU infrastructure to enable AI-driven research and powerful modelling and simulation.
Access to digital research infrastructure is scaffolded by expert inhouse support from Sydney Informatics Hub, our Core Research Facility for data-driven and computational research.
The National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) is a federal government initiative that provides funding for major research facilities, supporting infrastructure and networks to drive research excellence. NCRIS builds collaborations between researchers, government and industry to deliver practical outcomes to complex issues challenging our society.
The University of Sydney is involved in the following NCRIS projects:
