Australian Governance and Regulation Network (AGaRN). By speaking truth to power, and finding out who gets what, when, where and how, AGaRN seeks to build knowledge through collaborations and create a national centre of excellence in governance and regulation. Focusing on governance, or steering society through networks (public, private and voluntary), it seeks to improve the policymaking and regulatory capacity of Australian governments by providing better evidence-based policy advice.

By speaking truth to power, and finding out who gets what, when, where and how, AGaRN seeks to build knowledge through collaborations and create a national centre of excellence in governance and regulation. Focusing on governance, or steering society through networks (public, private and voluntary), it seeks to improve the policymaking and regulatory capacity of Australian governments by providing better evidence-based policy advice. Through AUSSGrid (Australian Social Science Data Grid) it will access and make available policy-relevant academic and governmental databases; build a policy-based information gateway; and unlock historical and interview data by making it available in digitised form.

. Technology has the potential to transform the means for scholarly collaboration and communication. Our proposal will achieve this potential, by deploying open source infrastructures to create new communication platforms. The Initiative will itself use collaborative writing systems to construct and energise the Network, which will match researchers requiring these new technologies with those who have the skills to build them. The outcomes will be an increase in the efficiency of traditional research collaborations as well as new kinds of collaboration and communication, for researchers and consumers of research across a range of disciplines.Read moreRead less
