CSIRO's Research Is Focused On The Following:

e-Research
e-Research

- We're developing technologies to make the most of large, complex data sets and to better share them around the world.

Cloud computing
Cloud computing

- A cloud is a shared computing resource scientists are beginning to use for complicated analysis of massive data sets. A cloud is a shared computing resource scientists are beginning to use for complicated analysis of massive data sets.

Information engineering

- Finding, integrating, managing and delivering services and information in a trusted and secure way. Science and technology for finding, integrating, managing and delivering services and information in a trusted and secure way.

Sensor networks: observing our world
Sensor networks: observing our world

- CSIRO is developing robust wireless sensor network hardware and smart software to increase the quality and reduce the cost of collecting environmental data.

Environmental informatics
Environmental informatics

- Major issues such as climate change, sustainable fisheries and urban water quality benefit from CSIRO's statistical and mathematical expertise. Our methods are being adopted and, in some cases, mandated by state and federal governments, and international agencies.

Image analysis technology
Image analysis technology

- CSIRO’s automated image analysis technology can rapidly and accurately measure tiny changes in cells, to find safer drugs more quickly.   CSIRO is helping pharmaceutical companies with one of their most expensive, time-consuming tasks - identifying which chemical compounds to develop into new drugs.
