contents Measuring and communicating impact to funders and users is key to the continuity of research enablers. Yet measuring the less visible contributions of research infrastructures to research outcomes remains a formidable challenge. This Birds-of-a-Feather session (BoF) invites all conference attendees including service providers, researchers and communicators, to share their perspectives on evaluating and communicating research infrastructures impact. Australia s national research infrastructures (NRIs) play a pivotal role in research and innovation in every discipline including climate science, astronomy, health, data and more. Without them, researchers do not have access to the tools, data, facilities and technical expertise to support their endeavours. Australia counts more than 28 national research infrastructure projects enabled by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). A panel of communications, engagement and strategy experts from across Australia s NRI s will showcase the different ways they have approached the challenge of measuring and communicating their multifaceted impacts. This will be followed by an open-floor discussion on topics decided by the session attendees. These can include: What are some practical tools and best practices to enhance the visibility, understanding and acknowledgement of NRIs? How effective is the Impact Framework for NRIs? What is the best way of articulating the far-reaching impacts of NRIs, including fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, capacity building and innovation? A key outcome of this session is a report to share with the Department of Education and the NCRIS Communicators Network. This proposal is coordinating with the proposed ARDC BoF on Uptake of digital research infrastructure.
