The Excellence in Research for Australia, or ERA, is an initiative of the Federal Government of Australia to assess research quality within Australia's higher education institutions.

The ERA uses a combination of peer review and metrics indicators to evaluate research across designated discipline clusters.

The first ERA was held in 2010, for further information about the process and the ERA 2010 NATIONAL REPORT results go to ARC - ERA 2010.

The second ERA was held in 2012, for further information about the process and the ERA 2012 NATIONAL REPORT results go to ARC - ERA 2012.

For UQ Staff and Students: information on the ERA process, preparations for submission and results for 2012 can be found at UQ Research - ERA 2012.
