We partner with the research community and industry to build leading-edge digital research infrastructure to provide Australian researchers with competitive advantage through data. <h2>About the ARDC’s HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons</h2>In collaboration with Indigenous Australians, the research community, industry and government, the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons (HASS and Indigenous RDC) is harnessing research data to enhance Australian social and cultural wellbeing, and help Australia understand and preserve our culture, history and heritage.New digital platforms and data directories are improving how researchers discover and access Australia’s rich humanities, arts, and social science (HASS) and Indigenous data and innovative analysis tools. The program is also upskilling researchers to use data-driven approaches to HASS research and apply Indigenous data governance principles.As an engine for research translation, the HASS and Indigenous RDC enables researchers to develop and sustain cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary data collaborations at a national scale through federated models. It integrates the ARDC’s services for compute, storage infrastructure, persistent identifiers and data discovery with analysis platforms and tools that are supported by expertise, standards and best practices.Learn more about the <a href="https://ardc.edu.au/hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons</a>. <h3>Further resources</h3><ul><li><a href="https://ardc.edu.au/article/recap-of-the-2025-hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons-summer-school/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/article/recap-of-the-2025-hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons-summer-school/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read about the 2025 Summer School</a></li><li><a href="https://ardc.edu.au/hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/hass-and-indigenous-research-data-commons/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons</a></li><li><a href="https://ardc.edu.au/researcher/accelerate-your-hass-and-indigenous-research/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/researcher/accelerate-your-hass-and-indigenous-research/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Resources for HASS and Indigenous research</a></li></ul><h3> </h3><h3>Will the session be recorded?</h3>This session will be recorded and published online. <h3>Have questions?</h3>Email <a href="mailto:contact@ardc.edu.au" title="mailto:contact@ardc.edu.au" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">contact@ardc.edu.au</a>To keep up-to-date on the latest digital research news and events, <a href="https://ardc.edu.au/subscribe/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/subscribe/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">subscribe</a> to the <a href="https://ardc.edu.au/subscribe/" title="https://ardc.edu.au/subscribe/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ARDC Connect newsletter</a>.
