Join us to explore the NHMRC/MRFF Open Science Policy and its impact on the future of research in Australia!

Australia’s research landscape is evolving with the introduction of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Open Science Policy. But what does this mean in practice?

This webinar is the third and final in a 3-part series hosted by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) designed to help researchers understand the NHMRC and MRFF Open Science Policy and what it means for research practice in Australia.

Persistent identifiers are essential tools for modern research, supporting attribution, discoverability, and transparency across the research ecosystem.

In this session, we focus on how persistent identifiers (PIDs), including tools like RAiDs (Research Activity Identifiers), can help researchers better manage, connect and showcase their work in line with expectations from NHMRC) and MRFF.
