<\/td>		A conversation with Cathy Foley AO PSM, Australia\u2019s former Chief Scientist<\/strong> and Dr\u00a0Kate Cornick, Tech Council of Australia:
What needs to change in Australia\u2019s R&D system now<\/strong>

Speaking from the national science priorities and policy perspective, Cathy will address Australia\u2019s R&D system at a strategic level, including national ambition, policy direction, and where leadership and investment need to shift to strengthen long-term innovation outcomes and capability building.

Representing the industry perspective, Kate will challenge what industry actually needs to see change, bringing a practical lens on urgency, execution and how research translation can better connect with business needs and real-world outcomes.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
