![HACKER SUCCESS STORY:
OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE
• Open-source software models
have resulted in savings of
$60 billion per year to
consumers worldwide1
• Significant learning curve, with
many researchers being self
taught.
• Specific communities for
researchers (e.g. software
carpentry) teach basic software
skills to researchers through
boot camps and repositories.

This document discusses how researchers can take a more open and collaborative "hacker" approach to conducting research in the face of declining government funding. It promotes sharing resources through cloud-based research apps and data services, as well as adopting open-source tools and techniques. The document highlights examples of research communities that have formed around 3D printing and software skills who have helped researchers improve designs, save costs and time through collaboration and open knowledge sharing. It envisions growing these communities to support more researchers and establish best practices for areas like CAD, imaging and simulation.

- 1. HACK AND SEEK! THECHANGING APPROACH TO RESEARCH Paul .J Mignone ( @paulmignone) PhD Candidate & Research Community Coordinator Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering & ITS Research The University of Melbourne The Research Bazaar (www.3dprinting.edu.au)
- 2. RESEARCH BAZAAR? Empowering Researchers through: 1.Research apps in the cloud 2. Data sharing services 3. Parallel computing 4. Experimentation in emerging technologies (e.g. 3D Printing)
- 3. RESEARCH FUNDING The 2014budget produced a ‘mixed bag’ of results: • Proposed $20bn medical research future fund • Proposed cuts to CSIRO, ANSTO, CRC’s etc. Gradual reduction of government funding for universities over the long term. Researchers will need to: • Consistently lobby the government and the public. • Find more efficiencies in how we do our research.
- 4. LOOK TO THEHACKERSPACE A community that works together to do more with less.
