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 second 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.

As expectations evolve under the Open Science Policy from NHMRC and MRFF, researchers and trial teams must consider how to responsibly share and manage clinical research data.

This session will explore the specific impacts of open science requirements on clinical trials, including transparency obligations, data sharing considerations, and the role of governance in enabling ethical and effective secondary use of data.

Featuring expert perspectives and practical examples, this webinar will help you understand how to embed open science principles into clinical trial design and delivery.
