SCIENCE THAT HELPS BUILD OUR NATION The application of science – brilliant science – is a catalyst which not only helps solve the key challenges facing industry and the community, it also helps build Australia’s industrial and manufacturing capacity. We live in a highly competitive global economy. By teaming science and industry innovatively, we can help give Australian companies global influence over new technologies and systems, and competitive advantage. CSIRO is at the cutting edge of science solutions to Australian and international needs. From revolutionary bioplastics to help repair damaged bones, to new energy technologies, to the gene that allows farmers control when their cereal crops flower, and technologies that help maximise oil and gas fields production, CSIRO delivers science that produces results. CSIRO has a global reputation for scientific achievement. It is one of the world’s largest and most diverse national research organisations with over 6500 staff engaged at 57 sites across Australia, with an annual turnover exceeding $900 million. It ranks in the top one per cent of world scientific institutions in 12 research fields monitored by the Institute for Scientific Information, including plant and animal sciences, environment/ ecology, chemistry, biology and biochemistry, agricultural sciences, materials science, space science and engineering. We recognise that science investment must be targeted to maximise its impact. It must align closely with national research priorities and our new Flagship Programs reflect our increasing focus, and build on CSIRO’s core science capabilities. In partnership with industry, our universities and other government agencies, these Flagships are dedicated to major challenges and opportunities in the areas of energy, water, health, growing new industries from our mineral and agricultural resources, and developing sustainable wealth from the oceans. CSIRO represents a priceless knowledge bank, committed to delivering great science and innovative solutions; to making a difference. We are equally committed to partnering with Australian industry to achieve the best outcomes from science and technology and, in so doing, enable industry to build our nation. Solve is a reflection of this commitment to innovation and to industry partnerships.We believe a wider awareness of CSIRO’s capabilities will help stimulate national innovation and capacity building, assisting further in placing Australian technology onto the world stage.
