<H2>Future Science 2040</H2>
Science is undergoing an unprecedented period of change. The amount of data available is skyrocketing. The volume of new research being published is enormous. Major global challenges are escalating, many requiring urgent scientific solutions.
What does the future hold for scientific research in this country? How will new tools such as big data, automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning impact our scientists and their work?
Though Australia has a track record of world-leading research, this advantage is often lost in the race to translate innovative thinking into commercial outcomes. Future Science 2040 will examine what is needed to make our science bolder and more forward thinking, providing creative solutions to our greatest challenges, tremendous opportunities to industry and exciting career choices to our next generation of researchers.
To learn more about the way forward for Australian research, join CSIRO Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley when she presents: Future Science 2040.
