Platform for Research Software Solutions

The Platform for Research Software Solutions develops, supports and delivers software systems for research.

Our team of software engineers specialises in research software, including:

• Big data analytics
• Rich, interactive collaboration environments
• Web applications and databases
• Mobile applications used for collecting targeted data.

We help graduate students and researchers learn and explore new software engineering technologies. We also develop, help support and deliver software systems for the broader University research community.

We are part of the University’s Melbourne eResearch Group (MeG). MeG comprises over 35 full time software engineers working on a wide range of major projects for clients. These have included US Intelligence, US Defence, all Australian Defence Forces, the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council, the European Union, as well as numerous major projects with industry and charitable foundations.

Our work also includes flagship projects for the University including:
