How we work

A partnership-based research model connecting academia, research institutions, industry, government and capital providers.

Our model

Four ways we turn research into results

The Centre adopts a partnership-based research model, recognising that complex national innovation and industrial-development challenges require collaboration across academia, research institutions, industry, government and capital providers. Partnerships are structured around four principal modalities:

  1. 01
    Modality 1 of 4

    Joint Research Reports and Scholarly Articles

    Producing co-authored, evidence-based and citable research outputs that contribute to both academic scholarship and policy discourse.

  2. 02
    Modality 2 of 4

    Joint Research Projects

    Undertaking collaborative research initiatives that combine institutional expertise, data, research infrastructure and funding to address priority questions within the Centre’s thematic agenda.

  3. 03
    Modality 3 of 4

    Research Policy Dialogues and Statements

    Convening structured engagements among researchers, policymakers, industry leaders and other stakeholders, complemented by joint policy statements and position papers that contribute evidence and analysis to the national ST&I policy agenda.

  4. 04
    Modality 4 of 4

    Joint Research Events and Workshops

    Creating platforms for scholarly exchange, knowledge dissemination, stakeholder engagement and research capacity development through conferences, seminars, roundtables and technical workshops.

  5. The outcome

    Together, these modalities forge a direct connection between innovation policy, capital allocation, and measurable economic and societal outcomes.

We cannot change the past. We can shape the future.
