The Pure Portal (web interface) allows potential collaborators, policymakers, journalists, the public, and other interested stakeholders to easily search for content.
Pure helps UNE to:
- facilitate collaborations
- attract new HDR students
- showcase its research impact, and
- effectively showcase the expertise of researchers.
