Australia’s National Science and Research Priorities and National Science Statement shape a long-term vision for our nation’s science and research system. They:
- reflect our strategic interests and national values
- highlight our competitive and comparative advantages
- help shape and align investment and funding decisions.
Refreshing our priorities and statement will provide a national policy framework that embeds science into government decision making. It will better align our efforts and investments in science to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits for all Australians.
The refresh outcomes will replace Australia’s Science and Research Priorities 2015 and National Science Statement 2017.
