Queensland research and development investment strategy 2010-2020
As the population of Queensland is set to double by 2056, research and development, science and innovation are increasingly vital to a sustainable and smarter future for Queensland.
The Queensland research and development investment strategy 2010-2020 has been developed by the R&D Queensland committee, a whole-of-government committee focused on coordinating government research and development investment with the strategic priorities of Queensland. The committee will oversee implementation and reporting relating to the strategy.
The strategy outlines a coordinated approach to ensuring research and development expenditure contributes to the Government's Toward Q2 ambitions for a strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland.
It provides a platform to increase coordination and integration of government research and development investments, and introduces national and international stakeholders to Queensland's strengths and competitiveness in research.
