The Australian Academy of Science will tomorrow launch a new plan to steer physics education and research in Australia for the next 10 years.
Physics Decadal Plan 2012-2021 – Building on excellence in physics, underpinning Australia’s future was devised by a working group of the Academy’s National Committee for Physics, which represents Australian physicists nationally and internationally.
It will be launched tomorrow morning at the Shine Dome in Canberra by Professor Brian Schmidt, who jointly won the 2011 Nobel Prize for Physics.
The plan addresses challenges in education, national and international research targets, clean energy, and translating physics research into business opportunity.
Media are welcome to attend and interview Professors Schmidt, Jamieson or Cory.
