UTS eResearch

What is eResearch? 

eResearch refers to the application of Information Technology to research practice, projects and collaborations. The UTS eResearch Group works with UTS researchers to help them with aspects of their research that can be facilitated by information technology, freeing them to do the knowledge creation work that technology cannot.  Discover and explore UTS eResearch. 

How can they help? 

The UTS eResearch team provide research-specific ITS support to staff across the university. For example,

  • Facilitating a collaborative and consolidated approach to eResearch infrastructure and administration process & procedures;
  • Facilitating a common understanding of UTS research communities, IT infrastructure and administration requirements;
  • Communicating the IT Services available to the UTS research community; and
  • Providing simple and effective processes for the research community to access IT services.
