Six Australian researchers attended the 9th HOPE Meeting in Japan earlier this year.
They were:
A diverse range of areas for potential scientific collaboration between Italy and Australia were discussed at the Italy–Australia Science and Innovation Forum in May.
Hosted by the Academy, the event was opened by Academy President Professor Andrew Holmes AC PresAA FRS FTSE and the Ambassador of Italy to Australia, HE Pier Francesco Zazo.
Efforts to improve human impacts in countries across the world were the recent focus of the global network of science academies, the IAP for Science.
A recent meeting strengthened and developed collaboration in science and innovation between Australia and Korea, including establishing productive relationships and improving awareness of collaboration opportunities.
Three Academy Fellows participated in an Australian Government innovation delegation to Germany, Switzerland and France in April.
Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Alan Finkel AO FAA FTSE led the delegation, with Professor C. Jagadish AC FAA FTSE and Professor Hans Bachor AM FAA representing the Academy.
The visit provided an opportunity for leading Australians to learn from experience linking industry and research in each of these countries, particularly through clusters and other models for collaboration and commercialisation.
