ENGINEERING A COLLABORATIVE CULTURE

摘要

Australian universities are among the best in the world, with their total research output ranking in the top eight countries in 2015, according to the World Economic Forum. In stark contrast with the success of inventive research, Australia ranked last in the OECD for the number of private firms collaborating with higher education or public research institutions. Indeed, according to Christopher Pyne, the Minister for Industry, Science and Innovation, only 4% of public researchers are involved in business. In Britain, that figure is 40%.
