Abstrakt: The Australian government has updated its science and research priorities, focusing on transitioning to net zero emissions, supporting healthy communities, elevating Indigenous knowledge systems, protecting the environment, and building a secure nation. The government aims to invest more in clean energy research, support medical discoveries to stay in Australia, recognize and celebrate Indigenous knowledge, protect native species and ecosystems, and enhance security and resilience in various sectors. To achieve these priorities, greater investment in science and research, diverse STEM education, and long-term infrastructure support are needed. Partnerships between industry, education, and government are crucial, and sustained investment in research and development can help achieve these goals. [Extracted from the article]
