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 first 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.

This session provides a clear and practical introduction to the policy from the NHMRC and MRFF, outlining what researchers need to know and how it applies across the research lifecycle.

We’ll explore the key principles of open science, unpack policy expectations, and discuss how these changes may impact the way research is conducted, managed and shared in Australia.
