CIRES
creating value with information resilience
The Centre for Information Resilience (CIRES) is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre funded for 5 years from 2021. Our Centre aims at building workforce capacity in Australian organisations to create, protect and sustain agile data pipelines, capable of detecting and responding to failures and risks across the information value chain in which the data is sourced, shared, transformed, analysed and consumed. Building on strong foundations of responsible data science, we bring together end-users, technology providers, and cutting-edge research, to reduce the socio-technical barriers to data driven transformation. We support the development of resilient data pipelines capable of delivering game-changing productivity that position Australian organisations at the forefront of technology leadership and value creation from data assets.

Featured projects
Value Measurement of Data Products
In collaboration with global insurance company, Allianz Partners, this project will challenge and extend the current body of knowledge on value of data products including computation, human effort and perceived value, and deliver a domain-agnostic framework that will build business capacity on informing and prioritising data science projects.
Information Architecture and Forensic Data Analysis
This research will tackle the challenge of how organisations can leverage human and AI/ML approaches to improve the forensic discovery and analysis of organisational data across multiple and complex information architectures.
Bias Mitigation in Human in the Loop Decision Systems
This project focuses on integrating fairness into learning algorithms used in the context of policing services and tasks and aims to observe if this leads to improved outcomes and experiences.
Our objectives
Enable Australian organisations to achieve responsible, secure and agile value creation from data.
