e-Research Office

The RMIT e-Research Office has been established to facilitate IT systems, software and services support to researchers with high-performance computing (HPC), high-bandwidth network and data-intensive collaborative spaces needs.

Services are centered on major research ICT infrastructure items, such as those funded through ARC Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities grants, assistance with multi-institution and multi-disciplinary ICT support, and major state and national e-Research initiatives.

The e-Research office is conducting a survey regarding RMIT's HPC needs, which will enable the e-Research Office to:

  • Offer software installation and upgrade support to our HPC community in RMIT through the ITS helpdesk
  • Compile a web page of our ICT-enabled research projects
  • Understand better the needs of HPC/Grid/Cloud-enabled research
  • Represent RMIT in the Victorian and national e-research network

Other e-Research needs can be fielded by College representatives at the Research Technology Advisory Group. We welcome submissions for our agenda.
