This report maps the main features of science and innovation in each State and Territory. It highlights significant actions for each jurisdiction and provides information on funding and future trends. This paper is one of a number of case studies and research papers commissioned as background to Mapping Australia's Science and Innovation System.
Abstract
Since the latter part of the 1990’s State and Territory Governments have become strategic investors in their science and innovation systems. This represents a change in the long-standing practice of investing in only the elements of the research base necessary to support their direct responsibilities of resource development, public health and the environment. This report seeks to identify the main features of science and innovation in each jurisdiction. It includes an investigation of the main drivers of investment, key instruments in innovation and commercialisation, science and innovation linkages between the states and territories, linkages to Commonwealth programmes, support provided for science and innovation in the regions, examples of local government activities relating to science and innovation and how each State or Territory encourages cooperation in international science and technology.
