Partners and collaborators
Our funding and partners
ACCESS-NRI is enabled by the Australian Government Department of Education through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
We are a partnership between the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, Australian Antarctic Division, and five Australian universities: The Australian National University, Monash University, The University of Melbourne, The University of New South Wales, and The University of Tasmania.
Our collaborators
ACCESS-NRI modelling relies on computational and data resources from high-performance supercomputers operated by Australia’s National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) located at The Australian National University.
ACCESS is a complex software system, now at more than 3½ million lines of code that generates massive data files used for scientific analysis which must be stored, indexed and made accessible to the wider research community. The National Computational Infrastructure is our main platform for collaboration and where resource intensive simulations are run and the resulting data stored and analysed.
ACCESS is also supported by our key international collaborators including:
Other Australian institutions and programs which have key links with ACCESS as users or supporters are:
- Auscope
- Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence on Climate Extremes (CLEX)
- Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC)
- Consortium for Ocean-Ice Modelling in Australia (COSIMA)
- Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW)
- Geoscience Australia
- Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS)
- National Environmental Science Program (NESP)
