The report of the 2025 ACCESS Community Workshop is now available.
The 2025 ACCESS Community Workshop was held over 8-12 September 202
5 online and in Melbourne on Wurundjeri country.
We had 218 registrations for the workshop from several Australian Universities, national and international research organisations and national research infrastructures.
The aims for this year’s Workshop were:
- Build the ACCESS community by bringing together technical experts and researchers and enhancing existing links, especially in cross-disciplinary areas
- Provide a forum for sharing science updates and get user feedback on priorities and capability
- Encourage active participation by students and early career researchers
- Update the community on recent ACCESS-NRI activities, resources available, reporting requirements and plans
- Deliver training of ACCESS models and related software, data and tools to enhance user capabilities
You can access this year’s programs for the different events of the Workshop below:
- COSIMA Hackathon program
- ACCESS Training Day program
- Main Workshop program
- Community Working Groups meetings programs
The plenary sessions recordings for Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 September are now available. Each of these recordings have subtitles available for accessibility.
