ITRHs & ITTCs are a major funding sources to mentor future graduates that drive growth and innovation in today’s economy. However, changes based on evidence based research are needed to ensure that they are adapted to the task of creating entrepreneurial thinking, stimulating business creation and exploiting ideas in society. Multiple-case studies are generally regarded as more robust than single-case studies, providing the observation and analysis of a phenomenon in several settings. In order to satisfy the requirements of the replication strategy we analyze all funded ITRHs & ITTCs from 2012 to 2024.

Sailing The Marine Knowledge Landscape: Enhancing The Discoverability, Accessibility, And Usability Of FRDC Investment

Fisheries Research and Development Corporation
Funding Amount
$80,000.00
Summary
Currently, there are only few mechanisms in place that attempt to synthesise the vast amount of research funded by Australia’s Research and Development Corporations (RDCs) in the agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors and organisations outside the RDC space. Even fewer mechanisms exist that attempt to synthesise research from across the marine science space specifically, wherein which the Fisheries RDC (FRDC) operates.

Even fewer mechanisms exist that attempt to synthesise research from across the marine science space specifically, wherein which the Fisheries RDC (FRDC) operates.
The aim of this project is to input FRDC research into the RLA platform, thereby making it more discoverable, accessible, and usable. The RLA service offers various knowledge tools, which intend to be explored as part of this project also, to allow the FRDC to explore and better understand the marine science and agricultural innovation landscape. Furthermore, the project aims to make the RLA platform known within the wider marine science community and across different RDCs and encourage the adoption of the new capability to link industry and research.
This project expects to yield several benefits for actors both within and outside the fishing and aquaculture community. The RLA platform acts as a link between government, business, and research sectors. Inputting FRDC research into the RLA platform encourages collaboration and innovation between actors both within and outside the marine science space and facilitates knowledge transfer between these currently disconnected actors.
Objectives: 1. To share Fisheries Research and Development Corporation research project data to be made available on the Research Link Australia platform, thereby making it more discoverable, accessible, and usable. 2. To explore different knowledge tools (i.e., Research Link Australia-generated dashboards or applications of Large Language Models) to better understand the marine science space and explore the agricultural innovation landscape. 3. To make the Research Link Australia platform known within the wider marine science community and across different Research and Development Corporations and encourage the adoption of the tool.

EnzOnomy - an enzyme-based production pipeline for the bioeconomy. The sustainable production of high value chemicals (e.g. fuels, foods) from renewable materials is a cornerstone for the emerging global bioeconomy. We aim to harness the potential of protein engineering to develop a technology (EnzOnomy) to convert renewable raw material (e.g. sugar) into platform chemicals (e.g. isobutanol, a building block for jet fuels, fibers, plastics and antioxidants). Our multi-disciplinary and well estab ....EnzOnomy - an enzyme-based production pipeline for the bioeconomy. The sustainable production of high value chemicals (e.g. fuels, foods) from renewable materials is a cornerstone for the emerging global bioeconomy. We aim to harness the potential of protein engineering to develop a technology (EnzOnomy) to convert renewable raw material (e.g. sugar) into platform chemicals (e.g. isobutanol, a building block for jet fuels, fibers, plastics and antioxidants). Our multi-disciplinary and well established international team will link scientific progress to markets to enhance potential commercial impact in the bioeconomy. The project thus provides great benefit for our nation as it embeds Australia in technologies and global networks that will cement its leading position to safe-guard the future of our planet.

This project aims to investigate how governance mechanisms incentivise multilateral data-sharing to enable open innovation in industrial data ecosystems. Based on a rigorous multi-method study at ecosystem, firm and managerial levels, a framework of generative open innovation to govern multilateral data sharing will be developed. By addressing data-sharing barriers at all levels, the framework helps create collective value at the ecosystem level and capture a portion of that value at the firm and managerial levels. This should enable participants in industrial data ecosystems to share data confidently and unlock the full potential of open innovation for Australia’s digital economy, with estimated benefits of $315bn over the next decade.

Responsible Urban Innovation with Local Government Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only becoming an integral part of urban services, but also impacting and shaping the future of cities and societies. However, the current AI practice has shown that urban innovation without responsibility generates more problems than it solves.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only becoming an integral part of urban services, but also impacting and shaping the future of cities and societies. However, the current AI practice has shown that urban innovation without responsibility generates more problems than it solves. Especially, the absence of a deep understanding of the costs, benefits, risks and impacts of deploying government AI systems creates negative externalities and serious concerns in the society. This project will generate new knowledge on the most appropriate approaches for local governments to engage with AI to achieve responsible urban innovation. The project outcomes will include responsible AI adoption and implementation pathways for Australian local governments.Read moreRead less

This project aims to address the urgent need for a transformational shift in thinking and actions in primary healthcare service delivery. Primary care clinics, the front door of Australia's healthcare, are under considerable strain. By using a four-phase mixed methodology design across four Australian states, this project expects to generate a national evidence-based framework which takes a dual approach combining the use of digital technology with humanness. Expected outcomes include the development of an Australian-first evidence-based digital resource kit, including two new tools, and a new co-designed roadmap to better facilitate this important change journey to enhance patient experience, employee wellbeing and clinic performance.

This project aims to explain the impact of technologies that automate people management. Through four integrated studies, this project expects to generate new knowledge on a currently invisible set of managerial and industrial practices that are profoundly reshaping work and employment relations. Expected outcomes include the first typology of automated people management technologies that will be used to reveal where and how automated people management is occurring in Australia and its effects on managers and workers.
