The Globus platform provides a secure data transfer and management service that facilitates end-to-end automation of complex research flows.
Hosted by AARNet, Globus Community Australasia is a central hub for staff at Australian and New Zealand universities and research institutions who are using the Globus data movement service. The community aims to foster collaboration among IT administrators, researchers, and Globus group managers by providing a platform to share knowledge, resources, and best practices.
The community aims to help advance the effective use of Globus and drive innovation in data movement practices across the Australian and New Zealand research sectors. Members have access to a GitHub repository for asynchronous communication and resource exchange, as well as regular meetings, webinars, and training sessions for real-time engagement. These events, such as Office Hours and Team Globus Catch-ups, offer opportunities for learning and problem-solving.
If you have any questions, please contact us at globus@aarnet.edu.au.
