Mission of digital research
The mission of the digital research program at La Trobe University is to provide a world-class digital research environment. This environment aims to enable and accelerate new research outcomes. It does so through the engagement of researchers with advanced and emerging information and computing technologies and the provision of support services.
Enhancing research capability
Our key goals for sustaining research excellence includes:
- improving the reach and impact of its research
- developing strategically important research collaborations and deep partnerships
- enhancing the experience and outcomes for its graduate researchers.
Digital research sits at the interface between research and advanced information and computing technology. It is an enabling function that allows powerful technologies to be applied across all stages of the research life cycle, from data collection, through analysis, processing, visualization, and data publishing.
Our digital research program is guided by researchers' needs, and its goal is to provide them with the tools and support they need to execute and accelerate their research programs and achieve research outcomes.
The goals of the digital research program are to:
- proactively enhance institutional research capabilities
- develop the digital research ability of researchers within the University
- enable researchers to actively engage with information and computing technologies
- support the management of data throughout the research lifecycle and enable effective methods for the capture, curation, analysis, publication, discovery, and reuse of research data.
If we are to achieve the goal of becoming a leader in the support it provides for its researchers. It is essential that it has world class ability in digital research. The digital research program enables us to achieve this goal.
