11:00 am - 12:00 pm AEST

Research changes all our lives, all the time – remember three years ago when only experts knew what an mRNA vaccine was and why we needed it? But because nobody knows what research the world will need the challenge is to be as ready as possible for whatever will happen.

Professor Merlin Crossley
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic & Student Life, UNSW Sydney
Dr Anita Goh
Clinical Researcher, UNSW Sydney and Science & Technology Australia
Professor Caroline McMillen AO
Chief Scientist for South Australia
Distinguished Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik

Arianna Oddo
PhD, Monash University | Consultant, Consulting and Implementation Service (CIS)

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

Covid 19 did not shrink the world – it brought researchers closer together as they cooperated, and competed to save us all. The challenge is to keep on globalising knowledge to benefit all of humanity and to address the risks of espionage and populist suspicion of researchers working across borders

Dr Matthew Brown
Deputy Chief Executive, Group of Eight
Tim Cahill
Managing Director, Research Strategies Australia
Cath Latham
Director of International Affairs, Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE)
Professor Sarah Medland
Interim Program Director, Mental Health and Neuroscience, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute

11:00 am - 12:00 pm AEST

Turning ideas into products and services quick smart is what governments expect from research. But from incentives to IP there are as many ways to waste money as there are to find sure paths from lab to market place.

Dr Amanda-Jane George
Senior Lecturer, CQUniversity
Dr Tony Peacock
Chairman, Wintermute Biomedical
Luke Sheehy
Executive Director, Australian Technology Network (ATN)

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

When short-term outcomes are valued over expert curiosity how will researchers be funded to succeed, or fail to make a better world?

Dr John Byron
Principal Policy Adviser, Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
Professor Catharine Coleborne
Professor and Deans of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, The University of Newcastle
Distinguished Professor Chennupati Jagadish AC
President, Australian Academy of Science, Australian National University (ANU)

11:00 am- 12:00 pm AEST

Too much knowledge is locked behind paywalls – but making it more accessible is immensely complex. Experts discuss how to share the research wealth while protecting the publishing eco-system that stories and curates it

Bob Gerrity
University Librarian, Monash University & Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL)
Professor Lucy Montgomery
Professor of Knowledge Innovation, Curtin University
Dr Danny Kingsley
Director of Library Services, University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC)

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AEST

While a few fields of research receive regular headlines, how can we better sell engagement with the other 95% of research?

Professor Emma Johnston AO FAA FTSE
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), University of Sydney
Edward O'Daly
Director, Communications and Engagement, Australian National University (ANU)
Shez Cairney
Chief Executive Officer, The Interplay Project
