Australia’s research and development (R&D) system is at a critical juncture. As global challenges intensify and technological advancements accelerate, the need for a robust, well-coordinated and adequately funded R&D system has never been more pressing.
The Australian Government is undertaking a strategic examination of our research and development (R&D) system to help grow our core science and innovation capability.

This paper provides an overview of the most recent AETRP data analysis.
