=Environmental scan | Australian Social Science eResearch Infrastructure=
A partnership between the ARDC and the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA)

==Where we're at==
[[Where we're at | READ OR CONTRIBUTE ]] to a high-level summary of how far Australian social science has come in eResearch infrastructure.

==What's needed next==
Contribute to a live scenario-planning exercise, to identify the eResearch capabilities that are needed in the next five to ten years:
* [[ SCENARIO 1: Social Mobility | SCENARIO 1: Social Mobility ]] <br> Maximising impact with present capabilities
<blockquote> “A lack of social mobility (a shift in a person’s socioeconomic position) imposes costs on society, including the squandering of people’s talents, and undermining productivity and economic growth. Social mobility is likely lower in Australia than in some developed countries (mainly Scandinavian and Nordic countries) and higher than in 
others (most notably the United States). Research and data on the passing of disadvantage (and advantage) from one generation to the next is important for developing a better understanding of how social mobility operates in Australia.” <br> From: ''Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (2019)''</blockquote>
* [[ SCENARIO 2: Nutrition and Food Security | SCENARIO 2: Nutrition and Food Security ]] <br> New realities, new capabilities, new research realms
* [[ SCENARIO 3: Collective memory | SCENARIO 3: Collective memory ]] <br> Problem scoping and efficiency in a data rich world
