Excellence in Research for Australia
Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) is an assessment framework that evaluates the quality of research conducted by Australian universities. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of research performance across various disciplines, helping to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. The ERA results inform funding decisions and guide policy development in the higher education sector.
The ERA is conducted by the Australian Research Council (ARC) every three years. It uses a range of indicators, including research outputs, impact, and engagement, to assess the performance of institutions. The findings contribute to enhancing the overall research landscape in Australia.
