Australian science in a changing world: innovation requires global engagement
The Academy recommends that the Australian Government acts immediately to invest for the future in the internationalisation of science and innovation.
The big challenges and opportunities for Australia in the 21st century – social, economic and environmental – are global, requiring coordination and integration across scales and disciplines.
Australian science and innovation can continue to play an influential role, but will increasingly need to be coordinated with and be cognisant of the efforts of others.
This report seeks to restart and contribute to national debate about what Australia must do to ensure that it can maintain its links with leading international science, and continue to maximise economic and social benefits for the nation from these global networks.
