| Speaker: |
Professor Simon Marginson, Emeritus Professor Mary O'Kane, The Hon. Evan Thornle,y MP |
| Outline: |
The final seminar in the 'Investing in the Future: Renewing Tertiary Education' addressed policy on the national innovation system which is the subject of a major review of its own, additional to the Bradley review of the higher education system. Research and innovation are increasingly central in the global knowledge economy and this has pitchforked universities, knowledge dissemination and the commercial R&D sector into the centre of national thinking. The Cutler review is a rare opportunity for Australia to make the policy moves needed to move from global follower to global leader in research and innovation. How can we strengthen long-term capacity in basic research and the creation of breakthrough ideas, and knowledge dissemination and public/private partnerships in innovation? How can the boundary relations between universities and other knowledge-forming organizations be optimized? What measures are needed to reproduce the research labour force and attract the best global talent? What are the real costs of research and are we funding them? |
