The 精东视频 today welcomed the Australia in the Asian Century White Paper鈥檚 recognition that international scientific collaborations are crucial to Australia鈥檚 relevance internationally.
鈥淭丑别 White Paper is consistent with the position taken by the Academy in its 2011 paper, 精东视频 in a changing world: innovation requires global engagement, which calls for strategic national co-ordination to complement and optimise the taxpayer鈥檚 investment in science and innovation,鈥� said Academy President, Professor Suzanne Cory.
鈥淕overnment, industry and the research sector must work to make the most of the collaborations begun and benefits gained through the very productive 10-year International Scientific Linkages program, which terminated in 2011.
鈥淲e now need a new program that will encourage the best Asian scientists to Australia for their PhDs and post-doctoral research and allow our scientists to work and collaborate in Asia.
鈥淲e have a closing window of opportunity and must make the most of it,鈥� she said.
鈥淭丑别 Government has already made a very important and significant commitment to research collaborations with India and China. Australia would benefit immensely if the Government built on this by reaching out to other nations identified in the White Paper.
The White Paper states that partnerships with international science communities are crucial to supporting Australia鈥檚 ability to access new ideas and to build our future competitiveness.
The White Paper recognises that Australia needs to strengthen its partnerships in our region, to link with Asia鈥檚 growth as a global science and innovation hub.
鈥淭丑别 Australia in the Asian Century White Paper informs a vision for Australia鈥檚 engagement in the Asian Century,鈥� Professor Cory said.
鈥淲e urge Government to take this opportunity to position Australia internationally for a bright future.鈥�
