How we work
As an NCRIS enabled Trust and Identity capability, we are partnering with national research infrastructure, to develop a globally aligned Trust and Identity Framework. It will deliver a system-wide approach to identity and access management.
A system-wide approach to identity and access management will improve connectivity across the research infrastructure ecosystem. Researchers will be able to login once, have their identity verified and seamlessly access resources across organisational boundaries to collaborate.

The pathfinder
Working with national research infrastructures through Accelerators and Incubators, we are building trust and identity across the national research ecosystem.
Accelerators
During the Accelerator phase which is now complete, a team of our identity specialists that understand the Australian research landscape, worked with national research infrastructures to identify and develop:
Incubators
We are now in the Incubator phase, and are working with our partners to pilot trust and identity solutions to:
Increasing collaboration across research themes
A Trust and Identity capability for national research infrastructure will enable thematic transformation across:
Characterisation
We have partnered with Microscopy Australia and the National Imaging Facility (NIF) to enable system-wide access to national imaging infrastructure.
Resources and minerals processing
T&I will facilitate collaboration between researchers and mining companies through the secure transfer of data and resources.
Agriculture
Protecting Australia’s environment, food security and agriculture industry is vital to our national security. T&I will enable more partnerships between research and industry.
Medical products
In the field of life sciences, cyber security is essential for patient confidentiality. T&I will provide secure access to sensitive patient data, clinical trial data, and genomic data.
Recycling and clean energy
T&I will support innovative practices and processes for commercial production, that will reduce environmental impacts and improve operations in renewables and manufacturing.
Defence
Through an internationally interoperable framework, T&I can enable trusted and secure access to defence assets and datasets and support industry partnerships.
Space
T&I infrastructure can be used to control access to data from scientific instruments, such as telescope, particle accelerators and electron microscopes.
Environment and climate
T&I infrastructure can provide controlled access to data from remote sensing instruments, satellites and airborne sensors creating efficiencies for researchers.
Frontier technologies and modern maufacturing
T&I will facilitate collaboration and research translation between researchers and industry, by enabling them to share data and resources securely.
Social sciences
Standardised data management will allow for government administrative data in the areas of transport and urban planning, to be shared and reused across research domains and industry.
