This strategy sets out the desired features of Australia’s National Digital Research Infrastructure (NDRI) ecosystem to ensure it can meet the rapidly growing demand for increasingly complex digital tools and services that NDRI provides. It outlines key challenges facing NDRI users and providers and articulates high level actions to address these. Achieving the outcomes of the strategy will require coordinated action by all existing and future NDRI stakeholders and will need to be driven by National Research Infrastructure providers and governments.

The NDRI Strategy is useful for:

• governments, to inform future investment decisions and cross-sector planning
• research infrastructure providers, to inform strategic planning of data assets, computing resources, digital services, and training
• research communities, to ensure it reflects their user needs, and to help their users understand the NDRI available, so that digital assets and resources are easily discoverable, accessible, reusable, secure and interoperable whenever possible and relevant
• other organisations, institutions, and agencies in the digital infrastructure ecosystem to inform co-investment and coordinated delivery of NDRI services.
