The ground breaking National Innovation and Science Agenda announced on the 7th of December 2015 gives research, science and innovation a much needed boost to unlock new opportunities for the country. The $1 billion innovation statement focuses on facilitating more private investment in early-stage startups and collaboration between the public sector and private businesses. Some of the highlights being:

• A$2.3 billion over 10 years for the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), the Australian Synchrotron and the Square Kilometre Array

• A$200 million to the CSIRO for an innovation fund to help commercialise research

• A$75m to Data 61, CSIRO’s data research branch• A$250 million for an independent Biomedical Translation Fund to

assist the commercialisation of biomedical research• A$127 million for research block grants with greater emphasis on

research-industry collaboration

Research Innovation Summit 2016 has been developed to bring together Universities, Industry and Government stakeholders to address research commercialisation, collaboration and engagement to grow productivity and unlock new opportunities in a changing economy.

Key Outcomes:

Revaluating research incentives within the research sector and academia for better collaboration and research outcomes

Stimulating Research and Setting up Triggers for Improved Collaboration, Partnerships and Commercialisation

Delivering the Right Infrastructure for better Research Outcomes Building Deep and Effective Long Term Partnerships for

Enterprise, Government and Academia Exploring Data and other Technology to Improve Research

Welcome to Research Innovation 2016!

“Our vision is for Australians to be confident, embrace risk, pursue ideas and learn from mistakes, and for investors to back these ideas at an early-stage,”

*National Innovation Statement, 7th December 2015

“Every Australian will benefit from an agenda that puts innovation and science at the heart of government.

“We believe the measures in the agenda put us on the right track to becoming a leading innovator.”

As organisations seek to attract more sponsorship and revenue through world-leading research, the design, construction, operation and maintenance of research facilities is coming under increasing scrutiny. Compliant, flexible, safe and collaborative spaces that meet current and future research needs are essential in the pursuit of state-of-the-art, revenue generating facilities. Research Facilities Design and Development (RFDD) draws together the fundamentals of new build and retrofit research facilities in Australia.

The focus is upon transforming aging stock, creating new, flexible and adaptable spaces whilst ensuring maximum sustainability and energy efficiency. With case studies from the most innovative and latest design principles in Australia, the learning potential is unparalleled. Covering the most recent developments, challenges, and opportunities for those involved in research facility design and development, this is a perfect opportunity to gain invaluable insight into competitive standards.

Page 4: Commercialisation, Collaboration and Engagement to Grow ... Innovation 2016 conference.pdf · Design thinking is an effective enabler of deep and meaningful partnerships and better

Research partnerships between industry and academia are no longer a nice to have. With the federal government’s renewed commitment to research innovation and focus on research as an enabler of productivity, partnerships and collaboration between the industry and academia is gaining importance. However partnerships tend to be transactional and don’t take into account the specific needs and objectives of both parties. Communication is also a challenge which hampers the partnership. This session will feature insights that will empower both researchers and industry to build and foster mutually beneficial, long term partnerships.

By attending this workshop you will: Build a better awareness and

understanding of each others needs, goals and desired outcomes

Develop a plan that aligns to the objectives and desired outcomes for both parties

Work around the challenge of differing timelines by understanding each other’s objectives and priorities better

Open up channels for better communication

Facilitator:

Brett CornwellAssociate Vice Chancellor for CommercializationTexas A&M

From a researcher perspective research and funding has always been driven by publications and journals. These don’t necessarily encourage commercial outcomes and collaboration. This session will evaluate research incentives from both a research, policy and industry perspective, with a view of incentivising commercial outcomes, meaningful partnerships and collaboration. It will investigate parameters, benchmarks and ways for measuring progress.

By attending this workshop you will: Examine the current framework

of research incentives: Identifying gaps and opportunities

Discuss obstacles including archaic frameworks, resistance to change and lack of understanding and how to work around them

Align incentives with desired outcomes

Manage the change and getting buy-in and stakeholder expectations

Benchmark success and identifying opportunities for improvement

Facilitator:

Dr. Ross McLennanDirector, Research and Innovation ServicesUniversity of South Australia

Design thinking is an effective enabler of deep and meaningful partnerships and better collaboration. It’s allow for an approach that is collaborative in itself, not one sided, participatory and builds engagement This session will investigate how researchers and industry can embed design thinking in their collaboration and engagement for better mutually beneficial research outcomes.

By attending this workshop you will: Understand design thinking

and how it can be used to drive better research outcomes

Embed design thinking into your existing structures

Evaluate a outcomes through design thinking and how they measure up versus traditional methods

Overcome resistance and gaining buy-in

Facilitator:

Professor Robert FitzgeraldDirectorINSPIRE Centre

12:20 Identifying Opportunities in Different Sectors for Outcomes Based Research Innovation

Australia’s $ 32 billion annual public spending on research yields a research output that ranks in the top 8 in the world Yet it ranks a poor 25th in its capacity for innovation – turning those ideas into businesses. This session will discuss how universities, research agencies and industry can collaborate to translate research and new ideas into businesses. This will look beyond, research for research sake to putting ideas into action and boosting economic indicators.

Putting ideas into business: Strategies and challenges

Aligning research excellence framework to research innovation outcomes

Getting starting: senior buy-in, support and commitment

Addressing cultural resistance

Professor Roy Green Dean UTS Business School

16.30 The Challenges of Communications Between Research and Business

Research by its nature is “bottom up” – researchers explore the intricate details of problems, without necessarily being drawn into the consideration of where their research will take them, especially discovery based research. It is also risky and unpredictable

By contrast, business is “top down” – businesses want the solutions to key problems and are not usually interested in how the solutions are achieved, beyond an understanding of what limitations the solutions impose. They also seek defined timescales and costs for solutions.

These conflicting goals create an “impedance mismatched” communications channel between research and business which makes it difficult to establish effective partnerships.

This presentation will explore how to overcome these deficiencies in order to provide better overall outcomes.

Hugh Bradlow Chief Scientist Telstra

17:30 Benchmarking Progress and Measuring Outcomes for Collaboration and Commercialisation

This session will look at quantifying research innovation outcomes and how they can be used to measure progress, identify gaps and measure ROI.
