Improving chemistry research and education will be vital in supporting future industries, according to a new plan for the future of chemistry in Australia to be launched today in Melbourne.
The ten-year plan, developed by the Australian Academy of Science’s National Committee for Chemistry, envisages improved links between chemistry researchers and industry, as well as better quality school and tertiary chemistry education in Australia.
It also outlines strategic goals for chemistry, including improving teacher expertise, strengthening links between industry and the chemistry research community, and creating a positive image for chemistry.
