About

National ICT Australia Limited (NICTA) was Australia's largest ICT research centre, primarily government-funded. In 2016, NICTA merged with CSIRO's Digital Productivity Flagship to form Data61, CSIRO's dedicated digital and data science innovation group. While not a traditional philanthropic foundation, Data61 acts as a 'grantmaker' in the context of funding advanced research projects, collaborations, and talent development in digital technologies.

Tips for Applicants

As Data61 is a research and innovation arm of CSIRO, potential applicants should focus on aligning with their strategic research priorities in digital technologies, data science, AI, cybersecurity, and robotics. Engagement is typically through collaborative research proposals, PhD scholarships, or specific calls for industry/academic partnerships rather than open grant rounds for general philanthropic purposes.
