Initiatives and platforms List

The Sustainable Futures team is dedicated to developing national infrastructure for environmental, agricultural, and urban design research. We bridge the gap between specialised domain knowledge and novel technology solutions to tackle Australia's most pressing sustainability challenges. Our goal is to create a sustainable future by integrating advanced data-driven methods across multiple fields.

Our focus areas include environmental science, where we support conservation and ecological research through advanced data management and analysis platforms; agricultural innovation, by building scalable data solutions that optimise productivity and resource use; and urban design, applying data science and modelling to guide effective urban planning and development.

Software platforms are online services that make it easier for researchers to access the data, tools and compute they need to get their jobs done.

National software platforms are developed and iteratively advanced via deep engagement with research communities.

QCIF has a role in delivering the following National Platforms:
