AAF's Solutions Architect, Anurag Katariya, co-presented with TERN, providing an overview of the Federation and current work underway with national research infrastructure partners to enable a seamless and secure research ecosystem for researchers.
The Symposium offered valuable insight into how @tern-aus.bsky.social's infrastructure is being leveraged to drive sustainable ecosystem management across Australia. TERN's connection to the Federation ensures Australian researchers can seamlessly access services and data they need.
The AAF was pleased to attend the recent TERN 2025 Science Symposium, hosted at the State Library of Queensland. This informative event brought together researchers, students, government and industry to share updates on cutting-edge research, technological developments, collaborations and more.
🗓️ Tomorrow: Australian ORCID Consortium Community of Practice, 22 July 2025, 11.00am AEST.
The aim of this CoP is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, and share valuable insights and practical strategies derived from ORCID resources.

@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...
