As part of the our commitment to meeting both the current and future needs of the Australian marine research community, the Marine National Facility (MNF) has established the Technology and Innovation Advisory Group (TIAG).
The purpose of this group is to provide the MNF with subject matter expertise on current and future technology advancements with the goal of continuously improving capabilities supplied to the research community by the MNF.
Additionally, TIAG will be a vital tool in representing the views of the broader science community on leading practice methodologies, technology advancements and future marine research requirements in relevant fields.
TIAG will support the MNF in finding opportunities for collaboration and equipment sharing to improve ocean research capability with other marine research institutions in the region including government agencies, research institutions and philanthropic organisations.
TIAG schedule
TIAG was established by the MNF in August 2024 to coincide with the start of the middle of life refit (Mid-Life Refit) Project of CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator. An invitation was extended to nominated stakeholders with a wide spread of expertise to become part of this special advisory group.
Membership of TIAG will be finalised and endorsed during September 2024.
After this time, the TIAG will hold its inaugural meeting to determine its meetings schedule in order to help coordinate priorities for scientific upgrades for the MNF in 2025/26 and 2026/27.
We expect the TIAG to meet 3-4 times each year on an ongoing basis.
TIAG membership
TIAG will be run through a series of virtual meetings and be chaired by CSIRO’s Dr Ilona Stobutzki who is the Science Director for our National Collections and Marine Infrastructure research unit.
TIAG will include representation from the Ship Management Program and Engineering & Technology Teams, both of which support the MNF and operations of RV Investigator.
The members of TIAG will be advised once they have been finalised and endorsed in September 2024.
