Growing Sovereign Capability – Issue #6 Australian University Science Posted in Featured, Publications, Research on September 1, 2021 by Glenda Key. Australian university science is key to building our sovereign capability in manufacturing, medicines, food and agriculture, communications and defence. Decades of research in chemistry, physics, earth and environmental science and biology has equipped us to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing global challenges of the pandemic, climate change and market uncertainty. University science is also the only way we will ensure we have the skilled people we need to ensure this capability into the future. This issue examines key ways in which university science is delivering on advancing Australia’s sovereign capability: In addressing major global challenges such as tracking sinks and sources of carbon emissions, in equipping us to deal with the evolving pandemic crisis, and in developing our capabilities in defence and battery manufacture.
