Science & Technology Australia believes federal investment in research and the structures that support it is crucial to underpin and grow the thriving and effective scientific research that will ensure Australia’s health, wealth, wellbeing and environmental sustainability – today, and into the future.
We commend continuity of support for enduring investment in research through the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the creation of recent schemes, such as the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and the recent decision to implement long term-planning around research infrastructures, as important mechanisms to strengthen Australia’s capacity to conduct leading scientific research, as well as to innovate and apply that research.
