What Is AURIN?

AURIN is a national research infrastructure providing urban and regional planning data and tools.

AURIN provides eResearch capabilities to the academic, government and private sectors.

We provide access to analytical tools, as well as thousands of multidisciplinary, clean, spatialised and research ready datasets.

These data and tools enable high-value research that investigates the most urgent and critical problems faced by Australia’s cities and regions, including adapting to climate change, managing the energy transition across all sectors, and delivering adequate housing and social infrastructure to a population characterised by significant demographic change.

This research positively impacts the lives and environments of Australians, both now and into the future.

AURIN Impact

AURIN has empowered researchers over the last decade with access to data and analytical tools and the support to use them.

The research they have produced has improved liveability, informed climate change adaption, analysed the employment implications of COVID and more.

This research is critical to Australia as our population grows exponentially and we are faced with climate change challenges. Throughout our transition from Portal to the ADP our commitment to these researchers remains unchanged.​
