Neurodesk won the Technology Platform category at the 2025 National iAwards, presented by the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) in Adelaide. The iAwards are Australia’s longest-running awards for innovation in the digital space.
The AIIA noted that the “Neurodesk project embodies the essence of open science and has already demonstrated sustained and impactful contributions to the field”, and iAwards judge Litsa Roberts highlighted its role in “simplifying neuroimaging, fostering collaboration and empowering scientists to handle large datasets”. Dr Michèle Masson-Trottier, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at The University of Queensland, presented Neurodesk to the judging panel and accepted the award on behalf of the team: “This recognition validates everything we’ve worked toward as a team.”
