For 20 years, NCRIS has been powered by the people behind Australia’s national research infrastructure — the scientists, technologists, engineers, data specialists and facility teams who make research possible every day.

To mark the NCRIS 20th anniversary, the NCRIS community celebrated at locations across Australia for informal gatherings. The events were a chance to connect with peers, celebrate what has been achieved together over the past two decades, and recognise the collaboration and shared effort that continue to drive NCRIS forward.

Together we celebrated 20 years of impact — and the extraordinary people whose expertise powers Australia’s research infrastructure.
