About
A collaborative partnership building National Research Infrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences and beyond.
The Australian Internet Observatory is a four-year project (2024-2028) to develop National Research Infrastructure for collecting and analysing social data and digital platforms.
AIO is an initiative of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making + Society (ADM+S) in collaboration with researchers and research centres, university partners and organisations across Australia and internationally.
The Australian Internet Observatory received investment from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). The ARDC is funded by the National Collaborative Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
The facility is being developed and led by RMIT University in partnership with Queensland University of Technology, The University of Queensland, The University of Melbourne, Swinburne University of Technology and Deakin University.
