Research Link Australia

Helping connect startups and researchers

Research Link Australia is an information service platform for finding information about Australian research and innovation activities from both publicly funded organisations and businesses, making it easier for discovering research or business partners. 

The workshop will seek feedback from startups regarding their needs for finding research partners, research outputs, or innovations. Additionally, it will explore ways to profile startup R&D to make it more discoverable by researchers. 

Research Link Australia is developed and hosted by Australian Research Data Commons, with dedicated funding from the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
