@orcid.org is a persistent identifier (an ORCID iD) that researchers own and control, distinguishing them from every other researcher. The AAF leads the Australian ORCID Consortium. We support organisational members to understand the benefits of ORCID and offer local support.
🗓️ AAF will be attending the TERN Science Symposium 2025, 2 – 3 July, in Brisbane.
Come and say hello to the team at the AAF booth.
AAF's Solutions Architect, Anurag Katariya, will be presenting 'Secure access to Ecosystem Research Data Infrastructure' with our colleagues from TERN.
Through an internationally interoperable framework, Trust and Identity enables thematic transformation. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how the AAF can support seamless access to data, services and compute to these transformative collaborations - trust.aaf.edu.au/about/contac...
