Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA)

Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) is a national assessment that evaluates the quality and impact of research conducted by Australian universities. It helps identify areas of strength and improvement in research across various fields. Organized by the Australian Research Council, ERA uses metrics like publications, citations, and research impact to score institutions. The outcomes guide government funding decisions, inform future research strategies, and promote collaboration, ultimately enhancing Australia’s research capacity and global competitiveness. By assessing research excellence, ERA aims to improve the overall quality of education and innovation in the country.
