Cooperative Research Centres ‘should broaden recruitment’

Report provides recommendations for Australia’s academia-industry centres, including on diversity

Australia’s academia-industry Cooperative Research Centre programme should broaden its talent recruitment and development to “recognise diverse educational backgrounds, experiences and skills…and foster a culture that values different perspectives in entrepreneurship”, a report has said.

Cooperative Research Australia, which represents the interests of the CRCs, released the Mapping Entrepreneurial Alumni report on 22 July, as the Australian government prepares for a national review of its funding and policies around research.
