Farlabs

Freely Accessible Remote Laboratories (FARLabs) is a government sponsored initiative allowing Australian teachers and students to dial-in from their classrooms and remotely operate science equipment based at La Trobe University. This project builds upon, and extends, several existing partnerships between schools, existing laboratory-based outreach programs, regional-capital intra- and inter-institutional collaborations, e-research infrastructure, and industrial partnerships. FARLabs is led by the Department of Physics at La Trobe University in collaboration with James Cook University, Curtin University, Quantum Victoria, the Australian Synchrotron and V3 Alliance.
