TERN is supported by the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy and the Super Science Initiative
Presentation Aims
To demonstrate how TERN is used to enable:
- improved use and re-use of data;
- improved collaboration to address key questions;
- greater collective influence on ecosystem science and management in Australia.

Data sharing and increasing knowledge
• Enable a change in data collection and research practices in Australia
Main recommendations:
•Collect more data on Australia’s ecosystems and make it freely available
• Engage the community in data collection
• Develop methods to determine the consequences of ecosystem decisions and make these accessible to all stakeholders
•Involve all stakeholders in ecosystem planning and decision making

TERN Coordination
• Enable a change in data collection and research practices in Australia
• Data sharing infrastructure as part of national research fabric
• To become the standard for all ecosystem research data collection, storage and sharing .
• The “integration” facility for ecosystem data.
• Adoption within local to state and national governments.
• Basis for open data and cite-able data for ecosystem research in Australia.
• Requires long-term commitments from state and federal governments, universities and research organisations.
TERN’s Future
• Data management plans
• Data storage, curation and metadata for you and your group
• Knowledge generation and sharing
• Collaborations
• Act and express our needs collectively
