Innovation review
|
Today on the program we follow up on some of the key recommendations of VenturousAustralia, Terry Cutler's new report on Australian innovation, research and development. It calls for a doubling of present funding for research including full government funding for university research and significant new tax concessions. Is this where we should be investing the winnings from the resources boom, and is it enough to turn Australia into the clever country?
