Research capability to be boosted by improved

Abstract

The Minister for Education, Science and Training, the Hon Julie Bishop MP, announced today six new initiatives that will support greater collaboration between researchers, both domestically and internationally. The Australian Government has allocated $15 million under the Systemic Infrastructure Initiative for six highly collaborative proposals as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthen innovation and improve research outcomes. The proposals will provide Australian scientists with access to research infrastructure that will enhance Australia’s research capabilities and will: deliver improvements in access to distributed information, data resources, and research facilities; develop and implement innovative models of collecting, analysing and linking research results; and will fill significant gaps in the tools and resources available to researchers.
