Some quick points:
- Work - my professional life
- Software - personal software projects

Closing the R&D funding circle
Sep 30, 2024In Australia, we fund universities to undertake research for the purpose of creating new knowledge. We separately subsidise firms to undertake R&D. However the 2 funding mechanisms are not linked to encourage collaboration between these parties. A competitive knowledge market could be used to close this funding gap and:
- Give universities an incentive to collaborate with smaller firms undertaking R&D
- Provide smaller firms the confidence to participate in this market and gain R&D collaboration skills
- Allow Australia to better exploit knowledge created in universities.
