In the submission, the Academy:

• strongly supports Australia’s association to Horizon Europe to enhance access to world-leading research funding, infrastructure, collaboration opportunities and to mitigate geopolitical risks that can leave Australia’s research and innovation base vulnerable
• strongly puts that association must not be drawn from Australian Research Council (ARC) or the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) research budgets which are already under considerable strain
• recommends investment in the Belmont Forum’s multilateral Oceans Collaborative Research Action to demonstrate the value and impact of multilateral, cooperative research.
